In the third quarter of 2014. Poles sent 20 percent more parcels by post than in the corresponding period of 2013, state-owned operator Polish Post said on Friday.

After three quarters of 2014 we are recording an above 30-percent growth in the number of sent parcels in the e-commerce segment compared to the same period last year,” Wojtas said.
