On Sunday, Austrian Post started a test delivery of parcels on the seventh day of the week in the Viennese districts of Innere Stadt, Leopoldstadt, Landstrasse and Wieden.
If the offer is well received by customers, “the whole of Vienna and subsequently the surrounding area and other state capitals will follow suit” in the first half of 2025, as Post AG announced at the end of September.
This not only makes you a ‘first mover’, but also brings together innovation and market requirements, emphasizes Walter Oblin, the designated managing director of the partially state-listed company.
“Well prepared for Black Friday”
By starting in October, the post office is “perfectly prepared for the high season around Black Friday and Christmas,” Peter Umundum, managing director for Parcel & Logistics at Post AG, added in September.
The post office uses external transport companies for Sunday deliveries, pays a Sunday surcharge and provides compensation for working hours, the company assures.
