What is the fastest way to send a parcel - courier or Parcel Post?

Using the services of InPost, you can send and post a parcel in several ways. Depending on your choice, our courier will collect your parcel from the designated Paczkomat® machine or directly from your home, and then take care of its smooth and safe delivery. Which shipment option should you choose to get your parcel to your recipient as quickly as possible?

Ways to send a parcel efficiently

Sending and dispatching parcels at InPost is a very simple operation that is not limited to one method. You can do it via a Paczkomat® machine, leave the parcel at a PaczkoPunkt or hand it to a courier - the choice is up to you.

In addition, there are several tools for this, including the InPost Mobile app that allows you to go through the whole process via your smartphone and send without a label, Quick Shipment, without having to register an account or the Parcel Manager that allows you to send a courier parcel.

InPost Mobile application

How do I send a parcel quickly using an app? You need to download it from one of the mobile app shops, i.e. AppStore or Google Play. To send a parcel, simply click on the "Send" icon, specify the delivery method (Parcel-Address or Parcel-Packet) and the size of the parcel, and enter the recipient's details.

You can pay for your shipment online in no time, for example using a mobile payment system, card or bank transfer. Then all you have to do is take the parcel to the machine of your choice and you're done.

InPost Fast Shipping

Another option is to use the Rapid Transmissions . As with shipping by app, the time of day is irrelevant. You can send your parcel 24 hours a day from a Parcel Machine to another machine or to a specified address.

You do everything online and without having to register. You choose the method of delivery and the size of the parcel, enter the details of the sender and recipient, pay for the service online, print and stick the label, and finally take the parcel to the Parcel Machine of your choice.

Parcel Manager

Still another option is to use Parcel Manager . With its help, you can send a parcel using a parcel machine or hand it over to a courier at your doorstep or from a specified address.

To use the service, you need to register and enter all the necessary data via the form available. On this basis, the system will enable you to manage your parcels and generate a label. Finally, it remains to pay for it using the funds accumulated in your account in the Manager (so you have to fund it beforehand).

And in this case, you stick the printed label in a visible place and then carry it to the Parcel Machine or wait for the arrival of the InPost courier.

Parcel machine or courier - how quickly can I send a parcel?

If you are wondering how to send a parcel as quickly as possible, choose a method that will allow you to go through the whole process regardless of the time of day and send the parcel from different locations, for example when you are on the move and need to hand something over to the recipient efficiently. Shipping via Parcel Post will therefore work well.

In this case, you don't have to schedule the courier's arrival and adjust your day to be at home at that time, and you can go through each step of the shipment at any hour, even at night.

What's more, the whole process can be sped up by not having to print a label, which will further translate into paper savings. So how to send a parcel in the fastest way? A parcel sent using the InPost Mobile app, i.e. without a printed label and with 24-hour access, will be the best choice here.

How quickly will a dispatched parcel arrive?

The level of courier services consists not only of the safety of transport and the related customer convenience, but also the time of parcel delivery. At InPost, we are perfectly aware of this, which is why the declared delivery time is between 1 and 2 working days, so the parcel may even arrive the next day. However, this depends on the cut-off times for posting the parcel. Find out more at https://inpost.pl/godziny-odbiorow .

It is estimated that with InPost, as many as 98% of parcels reach their recipient even within 1 day. It is therefore worth choosing the form of posting and dispatch so that it is as convenient for you as possible.
