InPost ceases delivery of traditional mails

As of August 1, Polish mail and parcel company InPost will no longer continue postal delivery services, the company announced. "The decision was taken due to a drastic decline in profit and a lack of possibility to further reduce costs," a statement informed. InPost says that a part of the staff handling snail mail up till now will be transferred to operate the enterprise’s e-commerce platform. The company now intends to focus more on prospective segments such as e-commerce, courier services and self-service parcel-pickup lockers. Recently in July, InPost decided to carry out organization structure optimization by liquidating 1,257 jobs.
