In the case of large cities such as Warsaw, Lodz, Krakow and Katowice, it will be possible to deliver the goods by the next day.

Yes, receiving shipments via balikomats would certainly be an interesting solution in our country in Slovakia
Finally, it would be easier, especially as far as the customs procedure and our post office with its incomprehensible fees are concerned.
In my opinion, a great step from AliExpress. Because what Slovenská pošta does is something outrageous. And overall, when everything is expensive, we still have no shopping where we can save. So for me the top and balikomaty is a great solution.
An agreement with CR on shipments from third countries already applies. But… I have one hacik. It is said that it is necessary to agree with the sender to route the shipment through the CR. Otherwise, the post office will allegedly charge a fee. The agreement with the sender should probably be in the form: I request the package to be sent via CR, otherwise I will not accept the shipment. At least that's what the posts recommended at the Sk call center. Well, business is business and you can easily pay your fees. The whole deal is about nothing. The company does not prepare a separate agreement. But otherwise, they would lose what they had left.
The proverb no longer applies: As a farm, also a court. But the new ones apply: Aki politicians, also laws, Ake zakon, state too. Shit.
