InPost, a private express company, has established a partnership with the online retail platform Allegro and launched a low-cost delivery service to compete with other express companies and the state-owned Polish Post (Poland post).

According to the November 7th report, InPost recently signed a cooperation agreement with Allegro, an online retail platform. After the agreement comes into effect, consumers can not only enjoy lower postage charges, but also return goods without postage.

The new service is aimed at promoting the development of e-commerce. Now for Poland online shopping consumers, the main obstacle to consumption is the high cost of postage, and the refund of goods needs to pay postage. This has hindered the development of e-commerce in Poland to a certain extent.

Because poland Postal and other courier companies charge higher postal services. Allegro decided to choose InPost as its partner, because Allegro's top decision is to reduce postage, attract merchants to move in, and increase online turnover.

InPost President Rafa Brzoska said: "as our company offers more preferential delivery services, the volume of Poland's domestic online will definitely rise, and it is estimated that it will increase 4 billion of the total (Poland monetary unit, about 950 million euros)." It is estimated that the total electricity market value of Poland is about 27 billion of the total value of the market, which is about 6 billion 400 million euros.

According to statistics, about half of Poland's online orders are provided by Poland post (Polish Post). Express delivery service Poland post occupies most of the market, so it does not seem to worry that cooperation between InPost and Allegro will threaten its market position.

In response, President of Poland Post said it would not be surprised by the actions of Allegro and InPost, nor would it be a threat to both sides. Poland post It dominates the market and has market pricing power.

However, as a large state-owned enterprise, Poland post also dare not take it lightly. At present, it is considering the introduction of new services to cope with increasingly fierce market competition. Recently, Poland post announced that it plans to introduce postal automation machines, and consumers can pick up parcels on their own. This plan is a bit similar to InPost. In addition, Poland post may also use the way of price reduction to further occupy the market.
