We are starting our expansion in Europe
As of 1 May 2020, we have successfully launched the Zaslat.sk service for our Slovak friends, with a new ordering process and web design, which we can test and then use for the parent brand Zaslat.cz.
We are an online shipping service and we are here for anyone who needs to send any package. We believe that everyone should be entitled to high quality and reliable shipping services, not just big companies.
No conditions, minimum volumes and contracts. We are people and we connect people, gladly and every day. Get to know us!
The Zaslat.cz service is built on a solid foundation laid by an experienced management team that has grown up in a number of technology-focused companies.
We strive to find each new member of our crew from among acquaintances and friends. That's how we maintain a friendly culture that goes far beyond the office hours.

CORE VALUES
We take care of our customers and employees as our partners. We respect and listen.
As of 1 May 2020, we have successfully launched the Zaslat.sk service for our Slovak friends, with a new ordering process and web design, which we can test and then use for the parent brand Zaslat.cz.
The corona crisis and the related state of emergency has also affected us. In addition to having to learn to work from the home office from day to day, where we moved all our customer care to, we encountered a huge demand for our services, up to twice as much. Door-to-door delivery has never made more sense than it does right now. We were working X hours of overtime, were adding and training new customer care members, and yet were still managing to deliver free masks all over the country and abroad.
In this hectic period, we did not forget to appreciate the big milestone we achieved together, namely 500,000 reliably delivered parcels. We are grateful for every new and returning customer.
The big changes we've been going through have not been without new reinforcements. Our ranks have been joined by strategic marketer Martin Kudera, who has been instrumental in building successful digital businesses in the online marketing space. The team was also strengthened by Markéta Kudera with marketing experience from companies such as DámeJídlo.cz or TisknuLevně.cz, UX/UI designer Robert Blecha, programmer Dominik Polák and versatile graphic designer Tomáš Nadymáček.
The year 2019 was marked by building a new brand for South Africa. Our new colleague, experienced manager Marco Carosini, became the link between the Czech Republic and South Africa. From the logo itself, the new website, welcoming our British colleague Craig to our office in Brno, to signing up carriers and other partners, we launched the global version of Zaslat.cz - Parcelspot.com in January 2020.
We have never proactively sought an investor, yet we received a message in our email all the way from Africa, which we fortunately did not consider spam. We were approached by successful businessmen from South Africa who came up with a proposal to build a service similar to Zaslat.cz in Africa. After dozens of hours of calls, discussions and a mutual visit, we shook hands and started developing a new service for our new foreing customers and unfamiliar territory of South Africa.
To better fill the market for shipping services and offer a simple alternative to Zaslat.cz, we are taking over the management of Chytrybalik.cz. Its main benefit is clarity, speed and simplicity of ordering. It is not possible to choose from the extended shipping options offered by Zaslat.cz, but for regular shipments it is an ideal alternative. In the meantime, we are redesigning the Zaslat.cz website, developing our own chat and preparing for expansion abroad - first to Slovakia.
On average, we deliver over 10,000 parcels per month, and the Christmas season even surpassed the 20,000 parcel mark. Until now, Miroslav Michalko has handled most of the managerial agenda by himself. But evolution has caught up with him and he recognizes that we need reinforcements for sales, accounting, marketing and for the overall management of the company, and so five new employees are coming aboard. The Christmas parties are becoming space-consuming. In addition, we've been able to expand our services to include a premium carrier, UPS, which allows us to deliver shipments, even expressly, worldwide.
The number of parcels and the related sales are growing by 15% month-over-month, and this calls for new reinforcements. With four new employees joining the team, we have more space to develop the first mobile app in the shipping market.
The year since its launch, the service has been evolving and constantly adjusting. A lot of things have caught us by surprise and gone differently than we imagined. But we learned from everything and kept fixing, tweaking, evolving. The feedback from our customers drove us forward, we knew our efforts were worthwhile. One year after launching Zaslat.cz, we are reaching the 1,000 shipments per month mark and we are integrating DPD into our carrier offer.
In September 2014, Zaslat.cz is launched with its original motto - "Because every shipment matters". The company consists of three founders and one customer care agent. Miroslav has always been keen on friendly relationships, so he always looks for his colleagues among his friends first. All four original members are long-time friends. We are the first carrier to integrate GLS, Geis and TOPTRANS.
Miroslav therefore approached Stanislav Sumbal, an experienced enterprise systems developer. Thanks to Miroslav's compelling passion for the whole idea, he couldn't help but agree and participate in the creation of the revolutionary Zaslat.cz shipping service.
In the beginning, there wasn't a word, there was a couch. When the founder of Zaslat.cz, Miroslav Michalko, found out that it was not so easy as an ordinary mortal to order the transport of a couch from Cheb to Brno, he saw a hole in the market that the young tenacious entrepreneur wanted to fill. Like a good analyst, he first did his market research and his hypotheses were confirmed. In the Czech Republic, it's really not easy to order parcel shipping unless you are a corporate customer.
We enjoy working with the media. We regularly comment on current events in the transportation market in leading online and print media. For more information, please visit section for media.
