4. What happens if the sender delivers a parcel to a Paczkomat machine after the specified deadline? Will the ‘Back to School’ delivery guarantee still apply?
The ‘Back to School’ delivery guarantee applies to parcels posted via a Paczkomat parcel locker and via InPost courier, with collection by a Paczkomat parcel locker.
To ensure your parcel arrives on Monday, 31 August, it should be handed over by 12:00 on Saturday, 29 August, and in some areas even by 16:00.

5. How can I check whether the seller posted the parcel on Saturday 29 August?
Your parcel should be assigned one of the following statuses on Saturday 29 August, by the cut-off times:
- “Collected by courier” – the parcel has been collected by a courier and is on its way to an InPost branch, from where it will continue its journey.
- “Dispatched via Paczkomat” – the parcel has been sent by the sender and will be with you very soon.
If the parcel’s status in the app is ‘Parcel created’ or ‘Being prepared’, please contact the shop. It is possible that the shop has prepared your parcel but has not handed it over to the courier or posted it themselves. In this case, the parcel may not reach you before 1 September.
6. What does ‘before 1 September’ mean? By what time will parcels be placed in the Paczkomat parcel locker?
This means that parcels will be delivered via the Paczkomat parcel locker by Monday 31 August at the latest.
7. Does the guarantee apply to all parcels: both those sent to Paczkomat parcel lockers and those delivered by courier?
The ‘Back to School’ delivery guarantee applies to parcels delivered to a Paczkomat parcel locker. It applies to both parcels posted via Paczkomat and those collected by a courier. However, please remember to post your parcel by 12:00 at the latest, or in some areas even by 16:00.
The dispatch time depends on the zone (postcode) in which your Paczkomat® is located. As follows:
Zone A – cut-off time: 4.00 pm,
Zone B – cut-off time: 3.00 pm,
Zone C – cut-off time: 2.00 pm,
Zone D – cut-off time: 1.00 pm.
You can check the current zones and cut-off times on the website inpost.pl/godziny-odbiorow.
The time shown for each zone is the latest time by which you must post your parcel so that it can be dispatched on the same day.
8. Does the guarantee of delivery by 31 August apply to parcels delivered by courier?
No, the delivery guarantee applies only to parcels ordered for collection from Paczkomat machines.
9. What if the parcel is deposited on time but the parcel locker breaks down?
In the event of a fault with the parcel locker, we will do our utmost to ensure that all parcels are made available for collection. If this is not possible, they will be delivered by alternative means, agreed on a case-by-case basis with the recipient, in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions.
10. Does the delivery guarantee also cover oversized parcels (those where the sender has incorrectly declared the parcel’s dimensions or weight)?
No. For parcels posted via a parcel locker that do not meet the requirements due to incorrect size labelling, excessive dimensions or weight, the delivery guarantee does not apply.
11. Despite the guarantee, the parcel did not reach the recipient on time. Am I entitled to compensation? Should I make a complaint?
If a parcel was posted and received by Saturday, 29 August, by 12:00, or in some areas even by 16:00*, it will have one of the following statuses:
- ‘Collected by the courier’ – when the sender handed the parcel directly to the courier,
- “Sent via Paczkomat – when the sender has posted a parcel using a Paczkomat machine,
…and if it has not been delivered by 31 August, the customer is entitled to make a complaint in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions. Each complaint is dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
The ‘Back to School’ delivery guarantee applies only to parcels sent to a Paczkomat parcel locker. It does not cover parcels sent to a home address or to a PaczkoPunkt collection point.
12. Does the ‘Back to School’ Delivery Guarantee also apply to parcels sent from another country?
No. Parcels sent from abroad, as well as parcels sent abroad, are not covered by the delivery guarantee. For international parcels, delivery times may depend on factors such as customs procedures, transport conditions or delays associated with international transport.
13. To ensure my parcel is delivered on 31 August, what is the latest I can book a courier? Does the time the order is generated count, or the time the courier collects the parcel?
To ensure delivery before 1 September, parcels should be posted by 12:00 on Saturday 29 August at the latest, and in some areas even by 4.00 pm. The cut-off time depends on the area (postcode) where your Paczkomat® is located. As follows:
Zone A – cut-off time: 4.00 pm,
Zone B – cut-off time: 3.00 pm,
Zone C – cut-off time: 2.00 pm,
Zone D – cut-off time: 1.00 pm.
You can check the current zones and cut-off times on the website inpost.pl/godziny-odbiorow.
This applies to both parcels posted via a Paczkomat and those collected by a courier. What counts is the actual time the parcel was posted in the machine or collected by the courier, not the time the order was generated. A parcel sent via a Paczkomat must be placed in a locker by the specified time. Conversely, a parcel collected by a courier must be ready for collection and collected at the agreed time. Meeting these deadlines ensures that the parcel will reach the Paczkomat machines before 1 September.
14. When generating a label, do you need to tick an additional option to ensure the parcel is covered by the guaranteed delivery service before 31 August?
No, you do not need to select any additional options when generating the label. The service applies to all parcels that comply with our terms and conditions and are posted via a Paczkomat parcel locker or by a courier for delivery to a Paczkomat parcel locker by Saturday, 29 August, by 12:00, and in some zones even by 16:00. The dispatch time depends on the zone (postcode) in which your Paczkomat® is located.
You can check the current zones and times on the website inpost.pl/godziny-odbiorow
15. Does the delivery guarantee cover parcels sent on a cash-on-delivery basis?
Yes, the delivery guarantee covers parcels sent on a cash-on-delivery basis to a Paczkomat parcel locker.
16. Does the delivery guarantee cover parcels sent by private individuals?
Yes, the delivery guarantee covers parcels sent by private individuals for collection from a Paczkomat parcel locker.
17. Does the guarantee apply to all parcel dimensions (including size and weight)?
The delivery guarantee applies to parcels of standard sizes and weights, in accordance with the terms and conditions of service. For parcels of non-standard sizes or those exceeding the permitted weight limits, the delivery guarantee may not apply. Before posting a parcel, it is advisable to ensure that it meets the size and weight requirements.
18. If I change the delivery method from Courier to Parcel Locker, will that parcel still be guaranteed to be delivered by 31 August?
No, parcels that are redirected to Paczkomat machines are not guaranteed to be delivered.
