Over the past few years, Nova Post has been steadily expanding across Europe, including Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. While most e-commerce businesses in the Baltics are already familiar with traditional postal operators and major international couriers, Nova Post has been growing its footprint with a stronger focus on cross-border logistics and regional delivery connectivity across Europe.
Nova Post is part of the Nova group ecosystem, one of the largest private logistics operators in Ukraine. The company became widely recognised for building a large-scale delivery network focused on accessibility, branch infrastructure, and cross-border services. Today it offers a mix of courier, branch, and parcel locker delivery, with a self-reported footprint of more than 57,000 parcel lockers and pickup points across its markets. In recent years, it has expanded internationally, establishing operations across multiple European countries and continuing to strengthen its regional logistics network.
For Baltic e-commerce businesses, Nova Post represents a newer type of carrier entering the market, one focused on cross-border logistics and expanding European delivery accessibility. And while it is still relatively new compared to long-established logistics brands in the region, 404 business customers have already shipped via Nova Post on the Swotzy platform over the past 12 months, with monthly active senders steadily climbing from around 100 in mid-2025 to 140–150 through early 2026.
For many e-commerce businesses, relying on just one carrier is no longer enough. Different destinations, customer expectations, and delivery needs often require different shipping solutions. More merchants are combining multiple carriers depending on:
On the integration side, Nova Post provides API access and business accounts, with Cash on Delivery available in selected markets — the standard set of features sellers typically look for when adding a new carrier.
Over the past 12 months, Nova Post handled more than 21,000 shipments on the Swotzy platform across 63 destination countries, making it one of the platform’s faster-adopted new carrier integrations of the past year.
Germany, the United Kingdom, Poland, the Netherlands, and France currently rank among Nova Post’s most active international delivery markets through Swotzy. Germany alone accounts for more than one-third of all Nova Post shipments, followed by the United Kingdom (~8%), Lithuania (~6%) and Estonia (~6%).
On Swotzy, Nova Post usage is concentrated in a specific segment: larger e-commerce parcels.
Compared to the average shipment created on Swotzy, Nova Post parcels are roughly 80% larger by length and width and heavier on average. The pattern is most visible on routes like Latvia → Germany, where the bulk of Nova Post volume sits in the 5–10 kg parcel segment, with pricing below premium express carriers and broadly similar delivery times.
For e-commerce businesses shipping apparel, homeware, multi-item orders, or bulkier retail products, this is often the category where shipping costs are hardest to optimise and where carrier differences become most visible.
Based on the data, Nova Post sits between traditional postal shipping and premium international couriers in terms of speed and price, rather than competing head-on with either.
One route accounts for a disproportionate share of the data: Latvia → Germany. Germany alone makes up more than one-third of all Nova Post shipments created through Swotzy.
On this corridor, Nova Post sits between slower standard delivery services and more expensive premium express carriers on both price and transit time.
On the Latvia → Germany corridor as a whole, average transit times look roughly like this:
The difference becomes especially clear once you look at heavier parcels. For 5–10 kg shipments on the same route, average shipping costs through Swotzy worked out to roughly:
For shipments in this weight range, Nova Post arrived within roughly half a day of premium express carriers at a significantly lower price. Sellers prioritising next-day delivery or guaranteed express SLAs will likely still favour the premium carriers; for heavier, less time-critical shipments, the cost difference becomes the deciding factor.
Most carriers are relatively easy to categorise:
Based on Swotzy data, Nova Post sits between these categories:
That profile suits merchants prioritising cost over ultra-fast delivery. Merchants who require next-day guarantees or strict SLA-backed express service will likely still rely on premium carriers.
Outside the Baltics, Nova Post integrates a substantial parcelshop network. Across 17 countries, around 170,000 active parcelshops are available through Swotzy, with the largest networks in some of Europe’s biggest e-commerce markets:
For merchants offering out-of-home delivery in Western and Southern Europe, this level of single-carrier coverage is relatively unusual, particularly in regions where Baltic-origin carriers tend to have thinner networks. As with any pickup-point network, density per city or region — not country totals — is what ultimately determines the customer experience, and sellers will want to check coverage against their actual destination patterns.
The data does not show Nova Post replacing other carriers. Instead, e-commerce businesses shipping through Swotzy tend to use it as:
Whether this pattern is the right one depends on each seller’s destination mix, weight profile, and delivery-speed requirements.
Nova Post’s first full year on the Swotzy platform shows a carrier still establishing itself in the Baltics, with usage so far concentrated around cross-border parcels, larger order sizes, and out-of-home delivery in Western Europe. It is neither the cheapest postal option nor the fastest express service; it occupies the middle of that spectrum.
For Baltic merchants evaluating their carrier mix, the most useful comparison is a route- and weight-specific one. Nova Post performs differently across segments, and the data above is intended to help sellers identify where it is — and is not — a competitive option for their own shipments.
