Courier delivery
Courier delivery is one of the most common and fastest ways to transport goods from Allegro. The platform cooperates with various courier services, such as DPD, DHL, InPost, Poczta Polska, and others.
The buyer can choose the preferred courier service when placing an order. The cost of delivery depends on the courier company, weight and size of the package, and distance.
Delivery times vary depending on the courier service and destination. Typically, logistics take from 1 to 3 business days.
Buyers can track their order status online. The courier delivers the package directly to the specified address.
Paczkomaty InPost
Paczkomaty InPost is a network of automated parcel lockers, offering a convenient and affordable way to receive packages from the marketplace.
The buyer selects a convenient Paczkomat (parcel locker) where they can pick up the order. Once the package is delivered, the buyer receives an SMS notification with a code to open the locker. The order must be picked up within a specific time (usually 48-72 hours).
Parcel lockers are located in various locations, including residential areas, shopping centers, and gas stations. The parcel is stored in a secure locker, ensuring privacy.
There are size and weight restrictions for items that can be delivered through parcel lockers.
Poczta Polska
Poczta Polska is Poland’s national postal service, which can be used to receive packages from Allegro.
Items are delivered to the nearest post office based on the recipient’s address. Once the package arrives, the buyer receives a notification.
To collect the package, the buyer must present a valid ID.
The cost of postal delivery depends on the weight and size of the package and the buyer’s location.
Poczta Polska has a wide network of post offices across Poland.
Postal delivery is often cheaper than courier services..
Delivery via Żabka stores
Delivery is available to one of the stores in the Żabka chain. The cost remains the same as for parcel locker delivery, but the transportation time increases by one day.
When your package arrives at the store, you will receive an SMS notification with a pickup code. The buyer collects the order using this code.
Other delivery options
Sellers on the Polish online marketplace also offer other shipping methods, though they are rarely used by buyers. These include:
- delivery through partner pickup points (e.g., DPD Pickup);
- specialized courier services for large-sized items.
