No more waiting in lines at the post office. Now you can send and receive parcels, as well as manage all postal operations directly from your phone. Slovenská pošta (Slovak Post) launched a free mobile app where you can prepare and pay for shipments, track their movement, and even change delivery conditions. This not only saves time but often offers better rates.
How to send a parcel through the app
To send a parcel, you first need to register in the app. Then everything happens in a few steps:
Choose the delivery location. You can select delivery to a specific address, self-pickup at a post office branch, at a partner point PoštaPOINT, or at a 24/7 parcel locker BalíkoBOX.
Enter recipient details. Fill in the contact information of the person who will receive the parcel in the form.
Specify shipment parameters. Before payment, you need to enter the size and weight of your letter or parcel.
Add additional services. In the app, you can insure the shipment, send it cash on delivery (dobierka), choose personal delivery to hands, or mark it as fragile. If you choose the “fragile” mark, the parcel will be sorted manually, reducing the risk of damage.
Pay for the services. The app will automatically calculate the final delivery cost.
Convenient payment and shipping options
Slovenská pošta (Slovak Post) offers two payment methods. You can register the shipment in the app and pay for it in cash or by card at the branch. But the most convenient is to pay everything online directly in the app, so you don’t have to go to the post office at all.
After online payment, the system will generate an address label for you in A4, A6, C5, DL, or C6/A6 formats, which you just need to print and stick on the parcel. If you don’t have a printer, no problem: the app will create a 6-digit shipment code. Just write this code by hand in the upper right corner of the parcel.
You can leave the ready parcel in BalíkoBOX, drop it in a mailbox, or give it to the mail carrier.
Delivery management and parcel tracking
The mobile app collects information about all your parcels — both those you sent and those coming to you. You will see every stage: movement between sorting centers, notifications about the courier’s approach, or that the parcel is already waiting at the pickup point.
A particularly convenient feature in case the courier misses you. The app instantly notifies about the failed delivery attempt and offers free options — you won’t have to go to the post office. With one click, you can order a redelivery to the same address, redirect the parcel to another address, or to the nearest BalíkoBOX.
You can download the Slovenská pošta (Slovak Post) app for Android and iOS devices. More information about postal services and rates can be found on the official website Slovenská pošta.
