Do you order shipments on the well-known online marketplace AliExpress? Then read this carefully, because AliExpress wants to expand its presence also in Central and Eastern Europe. We can look forward to a new logistics center in Poland, as well as new pickup boxes for collecting your items, which you may already know from local sellers.
New logistics center in Europe
As reported by the Slovak Denník N, the Chinese company AliExpress will launch its first logistics center in Poland before November 11, 2021, when the biggest Chinese sales of the year begin. This new center should serve neighboring countries, including Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Customers in Austria and Germany will also receive their orders faster.
According to available information, we can look forward to delivery within three business days. In the case of big cities such as Warsaw, Łódź, Kraków, and Katowice, delivery will be possible as soon as the next day. The shipping speedup was also confirmed by Gary Topp, AliExpress CEO for Central and Eastern Europe.
“AliExpress, the global e-commerce platform belonging to the Alibaba Group, announced that its first independent logistics center in Poland has been completed and will begin operations.” – the company states AliExpress in a press release.
The logistics center was created in cooperation with the Cainiao brand, which is essentially the company’s logistics arm and handles product shipping. The warehouse of this center is located near the city of Łódź and has an area of up to 10,000 square meters.
New also: pickup boxes
AliExpress doesn’t end with its new logistics center. The company plans to launch up to 300 parcel lockers in Warsaw, and by the end of the year 2022 it wants to have a total of 8 000 lockers in Poland. The information was shared by the newscommerce.pl portal.
Already in January, in an interview for PAP Business, Gary Topp said that AliExpress, together with the Cainiao brand and its Polish partners, plans to launch a pilot project for its own parcel pickup devices.
For comparison, In-Post—which has a network of pickup and shipping locations in Poland—currently operates around 4800 parcel lockers. It’s also possible that over time we’ll see new parcel lockers from AliExpress in nearby markets, in Slovakia or in neighboring Czech Republic.
