How can I pick up my parcel at a pickup location?
Balíkovna outlets located at post office
You will need the pickup code contained in the email or text
notification or in our mobile application plus
the recipient’s name to pick up your parcel at a post office.
Alternatively, you may use your identity document. Most post offices
have a ticket terminal. Press the “Code-based pickup” button and enter
the pickup code. You will be called within a couple of minutes.
Balíkovna outlets at other locations
You will need the pickup code contained in the email or text notification or in our mobile application and the recipient’s name to pick up your parcel at our partners.
Self-service box
Enter the pickup code on the display screen of the box. The box will open, you will pick up the parcel and close the box. That’s all. If you have a parcel with COD, use the Track parcel tool or the link contained in the email notification or in our mobile applicationfor prior payment of the COD amount. You will not be able to open the box until the parcel is paid for.
How do I know that a delivery attempt is to be made?

Can somebody else pick up my parcel?

What should I do of my parcel is ready for pickup at an alternative pickup location?
It may happen that the Balíkovna location that you selected is unable to accept the parcel because their capacity is full, for example. To ensure that you can pick -up your parcel as soon as possible, we will automatically store it the nearest pickup location. You don’t have to worry about anything. We’ll inform you about the alternativete pickup location through text or e-mail notification. Information will also be available in the Track parcels tool or in our mobile application.
Can I extend the time for pickup of my parcel?
Unfortunately not. Smaller Balíkovna locations have a limited storage capacity so we need you to pick up your parcel as soon as possible, within 7 calendar days at the latest. You have 2 working days to pick up the parcel from a self-service box. But don’t worry. If you do not have time, just send somebody else with the pickup code to collect your parcel.
