From the official statistics, it appears that the Albanian Post has sent 5.3 million objects in the period July-September 2023, while other companies have sent only 1.3 million.

From January to September, over 19 million mail deliveries were made, almost 13% or 2 million more than the nine-month period of 2023, which means that Albanians have used the postal service more during 2024, automatically translated into more profit great for companies operating in this market. 

During the third quarter of 2024, a postal service provider was deregistered.
