Shipping parcels to Ukraine: why is Meest Post a better choice than a bus?

Many Ukrainians living in Poland, Germany, the Czech Republic, or Italy still use buses to send parcels to family and friends. It’s a quick, popular, and seemingly convenient option. But is it really safe and cost-effective? In the era of modern courier services, it's time to say "enough" to informal solutions and choose something better — a reliable carrier like Meest Post.

Why is shipping with Meest Post better than sending by bus?

Below you'll find a detailed comparison that shows why Meest Post beats buses in every aspect when it comes to sending parcels to Ukraine.

1. Parcel safety – no misunderstandings

A bus is usually operated by just one driver, who also picks up, transports, and delivers the parcels — often without any documentation. In such a model, every parcel is treated like just another anonymous piece of luggage. No one takes responsibility for its contents, and if something goes missing or gets damaged – you're left with nothing but frustration and helplessness.

With Meest Post, it’s completely different. Every shipment is registered in the system, gets its own tracking number, is weighed, labeled, and secured according to procedure. This gives you confidence that it won’t disappear in a pile of packages or be taken by a random passenger. A professional logistics company handles every stage of the shipment – from pickup to final delivery.

2. Insurance – real protection instead of empty promises

When sending a parcel by bus, there’s usually no insurance involved. The driver can’t guarantee anything, so no one will compensate you for potential damage. Meest Post, however, allows you to insure your parcel based on the actual value of the items shipped. What does this mean in practice?

If your parcel gets lost or damaged – you’ll receive compensation. The carrier takes responsibility because it operates under clear terms and legal regulations. The entire process is documented and transparent.

Insurance isn’t a luxury – it’s a basic service that every trusted courier should offer. It’s especially worth using when your parcel contains important, valuable, or irreplaceable items.

3. Legality – you act honestly and avoid risk

Buses – despite being popular – often operate in the grey zone. Their owners may avoid contracts, taxes, receipts, and invoices, not to mention proof of shipment. By sending parcels this way, you not only risk your parcel’s safety but also support operations that are outside state control.

With Meest Post, everything is legal. Sending a parcel is a full-fledged courier service – with confirmation, invoice, and all required customs and tax payments. That means:

• you're acting in accordance with the law,

• you support the development of official transport services,

• you have the right to file complaints or request a refund if needed.

4. Convenience and time savings – no coordination with the driver

Sending by bus often means unnecessary hassle. Firstly, you need to find out when the driver will be in your area, then agree on a time and place – often a parking lot, gas station, or near a store. Add traffic, delays, and uncertainty whether the driver will even remember the arrangement.

With Meest Post, these issues do not exist. How can you send a parcel from Poland to Ukraine?

• From home – if you order a courier pickup.

• From a parcel locker – at any time of day.

• From a drop-off point – located nearby.

What’s more, you can handle everything online. Shipping, tracking, payments – every key service is available via phone or computer.

5. Predictability – you know the pickup and delivery date

Buses primarily transport people. Their routes and schedules aren’t adapted to the courier services. They’re prone to delays, detours, and traffic jams — and you can never be sure your parcel will be picked up or delivered.

With Meest Post, you know the exact pickup date and the estimated delivery time. We operate based on clear logistics procedures, and every status update is visible in the tracking system.

6. Transparent pricing – no hidden fees

Bus prices are a gamble. One day it’s 25 euros, the next it’s 30 because “fuel is expensive.” And if the recipient lives outside the city center – “extra charge per kilometer.”

When you send a parcel to Ukraine with Meest Post, everything is clearly calculated.

Prices start from just 29 PLN for a parcel from Poland to Ukraine, and the detailed price list is available online. You don’t face hidden charges, unpleasant surprises, or awkward negotiations. You always know exactly what you're paying for and why.
