Parcels will be delivered in the usual 14-20 days.

Ordering parcels from China on AliExpress is possible and even necessary, especially during quarantine when people are mastering online shopping. Ukrposhta CEO Ihor Smeliansky described on Facebook how parcels will be delivered.

According to Smeliansky, parcels do not carry the coronavirus, let alone after a flight and delivery. Ukrposhta understands that because of confinement, negative news and "armchair experts," all Ukrainians are at the end of their tether, so everyone wants to receive parcels as quickly as possible.

For precisely this reason, Ukrposhta and AliExpress have launched charter cargo flights to Ukraine twice a week so that parcels from China arrive in the usual 14-20 days at most.

"This is how it will work: cargo planes carrying your parcels from China fly to Europe (thanks to Latvian Post and other partner postal services), and from Europe, on An-26 aircraft of the Eleron airline, they fly to Lviv, where parcels immediately pass customs and sorting and are dispatched to the country's 15 million postal boxes. As early as tomorrow, the first such plane will bring 4.1 tonnes of parcels," Smeliansky said.
