World Post Day – how Meest Post and Poczta Polska bring people closer together?

Every year on October 9, we celebrate World Post Day. It’s a symbolic date that reminds us of the postal service as an institution that has connected people for centuries. In this context, it’s worth taking a closer look at the role of courier companies that support global communication and trade. One of them is Meest Post, operating in Poland as an integrator of logistics services.

World Post Day – a holiday that literally connects people

October 9 is not a random date. On this day in 1874, the Universal Postal Union (UPU) was founded. It’s one of the oldest international organizations, and its creation marked the beginning of a global communication revolution. The holiday was celebrated for the first time in 1969.

Since then, World Post Day has been observed in many countries to highlight the importance of postal and courier services. Some post offices organize special philatelic exhibitions, open days, or workshops devoted to the history of postal services. The UPU also runs an international letter-writing competition for young people and awards prizes for the best postal services of the year.

Postal systems, however, have existed for centuries. Even in ancient times, people exchanged messages delivered by foot messengers or horseback riders. From the 17th century onward, the first organized national postal systems began to emerge, available to an ever-growing number of people.

Gradually, countries started signing agreements on the exchange of correspondence, and by the end of the 19th century, a global postal network was already functioning – still slow and complex, but expanding. The real breakthrough came in 1874 with the establishment of the UPU, which laid the foundations for a modern and efficient postal system. In 1948, the institution became a specialized agency of the United Nations.

Meest Post – an integrator of postal services

It’s easy to get lost in the world of courier and postal services. Each carrier has its own rules, prices, and shipment limits. Meest Post was created to make things simpler. The company acts as a postal service integrator – combining the offers of various carriers and giving you one convenient tool to choose the best option.

This allows you to compare delivery conditions, check prices, and quickly find the solution that best suits your needs. Cooperation with national operators such as Poczta Polska and Ukrposhta enables Meest to combine modern technology with the reach of traditional institutions. This is especially important when it comes to international deliveries – for example, from Poland to Ukraine.
