New rates for city parcel delivery have also been set. The cost for a parcel up to 2 kg will be 70 hryvnias, up to 10 kg will be 115 hryvnias, and up to 30 kg will be 180 hryvnias. For nationwide parcel delivery, sending an item up to 2 kg will cost 90 hryvnias, up to 10 kg will be 135 hryvnias, and up to 30 kg will be 200 hryvnias.

This price increase by Nova Poshta is likely to significantly impact consumers, as higher delivery costs could lead to increased expenses for both businesses and the general public. Given the economic challenges facing the country, these new tariffs may also signal a broader trend, prompting other logistics and delivery companies to review their own pricing. These changes could affect the overall delivery market and consumer habits in Ukraine. As a dominant player in the market, Nova Poshta's pricing decisions often set a precedent for the industry.

As Nova Poshta adjusts its delivery rates, it's important to note that Ukraine's postal service is also set to revise its parcel pricing, starting in April 2026. This simultaneous change in tariffs reflects a broader trend in the logistics sector, where rising operational costs are prompting major players to reevaluate their pricing strategies. Understanding these shifts can help consumers navigate the evolving delivery landscape.
