Major operators such as Zásilkovna, Alza, and PPL maintain extensive networks of boxes and delivery points to meet consumer demand for flexibility and reliability. While large e-commerce players are investing in artificial intelligence and IT infrastructure to manage growth, the sector faces economic headwinds.
