Recommended without a stamp - a revolutionary change is waiting for us soon
In Poczta Polska, days are counted on a breakthrough change, for which the company has been preparing for many months. In just over two months, a new way to confirm the fee for recording letter parcels, both in domestic and foreign, will come into force. On May 1, 2021, the traditional postage stamp will be replaced by a special post fee sign in the form of a new sticker with the letter R.
To meet the expectations of customers, Poczta Polska extended the original date of introduction of the change from February 1 to May 1, 2021 to enable the use of previously purchased stamps.
Changes in the "Regulations for the provision of universal services" are aimed at standardizing and unifying fees for registered mailing, and thus simplifying the process of broadcasting them. For clients of Poczta Polska, there is no need to stick stamps to registered letter shipments, it will mean, above all, shortening the service time at the post office. All registered letter parcels can be broadcast in the same way as packages or valuable shipments, i.e. without a postage stamp. It is enough for the customer to complete the confirmation of posting and transferred the parcel to send the employee by post. Confirmation of paying for the parcel will be applied by a Polish post employee on a dedicated R sticker, which will be expanded with a special field for this.
From May 1, 2021, postage stamps can still be used to pay for letters, but only unregistered ones and for collector's purposes.
Confirmation of payment of registered mail in domestic and foreign trading by applying a post fee mark in the form of an e-investigation remains unchanged. In the case of registered letters paid for an e-investigation, however, it will not be possible to make a possible subsidy in the form of circulation stamps. If the fee for a given parcel is incomplete (lower than the price list) the customer should buy the right e-indications or a registered letter to pay with cash at the window. The expiry date of the e-assessment is 365 days and unused e-applause, customers will be able to use at a different time (in terms of the expiry date of the e-investigation).
