2026 started with rapid growth for Lithuanian Post. In January and February, almost 4.4 million parcels were delivered through LP EXPRESS parcel machines and couriers in Lithuania and the Unisend parcel machine network in Latvia and Estonia, 58 percent more than in the same period last year.

During the first two months of this year, almost 3 million parcels traveled through the LP EXPRESS network, 29 percent more than in January and February last year. In the Baltic neighbors, the growth is even more impressive. The Unisend network operating there delivered 1.39 million parcels in January and February, as much as 205 percent more than a year ago.

One of the main factors behind this jump is the rapidly growing international e-commerce flows. 

"The record achieved by Lithuanian Post shows that modern postal services are necessary for everyone today. The development of parcel machines launched by the Ministry of Transport and Communications in the country's regions - towns and villages - will not only ensure convenient services closer to residents' homes, but will also guarantee even greater parcel flows. This year, we will build another 81 parcel machines in settlements, and by 2028. more than 200 of them will be installed," says Minister of Transport and Communications Juras Taminskas.

"We are seeing extremely rapid growth of large e-commerce platforms, especially in the incoming parcel segment. In recent years, this has become one of the most significant sources of growth for the entire market. At the same time, the share of small and medium-sized e-retailers is also rapidly expanding, dominated by beauty, fashion, health, accessories and electronics products. The parcel services market in the Baltic States remains extremely dynamic, and consumer habits are increasingly oriented towards convenient and flexible delivery solutions," says Kastytis Valantinas, CEO of Lithuanian Post.

Interestingly, at the beginning of this year, it was not the big cities that stood out in terms of the speed of parcel collection, but smaller towns. The residents of Rukla, Kūlupėnai, Užventis and Akmenė were the fastest to collect parcels.

Although the largest parcel flows are traditionally delivered in Vilnius and Kaunas, the most popular parcel lockers for customers are those in Alytus and Palanga.

Panevėžys stands out in particular in terms of the popularity of LP EXPRESS parcel machines. In February, in several parcel machines in this city, customers collected almost three times more parcels in one day than there are boxes in the parcel machine. This result was achieved thanks to the extremely fast work of LP EXPRESS couriers. The latter delivered parcels to the same parcel machines several times a day, and customers quickly collected them, thus freeing up the boxes for new parcels.
