The first LP EXPRESS parcel machine has started operating in Darbėnai. It will allow residents of this town in the Kretinga district to send and receive parcels even more easily.

This parcel machine is a regional project of Lithuanian Post, which aims to assess the need for parcel machine services in settlements with fewer residents. The testing period in each area will last about half a year - during this time, it will be monitored how actively the parcel machine is used, whether it is sufficiently filled and whether it becomes a frequent place for sending and collecting parcels. In the near future, LP EXPRESS parcel machines will also appear in Žeimiai, Merkinė, Kūlupėnai and Switzerland.

"It is important that every resident receives convenient services not dozens of kilometers away, but right here - close to their home. Post offices are open all the time, so this will allow people to send and receive parcels without having to adjust to post office hours. In 2026, 81 new post offices are planned to be installed. They will also provide universal postal service. And this is just the beginning - soon even more residents in all regions of the country will be able to use the benefits of post offices," says Minister of Transport and Communications Juras Taminskas.

"For people, parcel machines primarily mean convenience – the ability to send and collect parcels when it is convenient and closer to home. We receive a number of requests from communities for their installation, but it is very important for us to responsibly and accurately assess whether such a service has sufficient potential for use in a specific area. The trial parcel machines allow us to assess this need in real conditions," says Kastytis Valantinas, Director General of Lithuanian Post.

In accordance with the requirements approved by the Ministry of Transport and Communications, starting next year, the LP EXPRESS parcel locker network will also be expanded to smaller settlements. This expansion in the regions will take place in stages until the end of 2028.

Starting in the first quarter of 2026, settlements where new LP EXPRESS parcel machines will be installed during the year will be announced annually.

The LP EXPRESS parcel locker network has grown rapidly this year not only in Lithuania, but also in all the Baltic countries. 54 new parcel lockers have been installed in Lithuania, and another 174 in Latvia and Estonia, where the network operates under the name "Unisend". The network expansion also included new locations. This year, the first LP EXPRESS parcel lockers in Lithuania appeared in Užliedžiai, Senieji Trakai, Kalveliai, Vydmantai, Kretingalė, Kairiai, Kvėdarna and Jiezne.
