The leader of our rating, Nova Poshta, ranks only third in the number of branches. Delfast and Zruchna specialize in address delivery, so they do not need to keep thousands of branches. And the speed of delivery of goods is much higher than that of other services (Delfast delivers parcels in Kiev on electric bicycles, and Zruchna delivers orders in Kiev, Kharkov and the Dnieper, as well as between these cities). Ukrposhta has the longest parcels – 4-6 days, although it has express delivery, which can handle 1-2 days.
