Sameday Courier

What Sameday Courier does

Sameday Courier (legal entity S.C. DELIVERY SOLUTIONS S.A.) is a regional courier and out-of-home (OOH) delivery operator founded in 2007 in Romania and listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange since 2015; it operates as part of the eMAG Group within Naspers. Its core products include Sameday Next Day (delivery to 13,800+ localities with a stated 90% on-time rate and ~4.7M monthly shipments), Sameday Same Day (six time slots in Bucharest), the easybox self-service locker network (~6,400 units in Romania, 8,000+ regionally, with 240.4M+ cumulative parcels delivered), SAMEDAY Point shop-in-shop pickup locations (320+), the eAWB enterprise shipping platform, and the SAMEDAY App with approximately 1.5 million monthly active users. Technology assets include proprietary courier management software, automated sorting systems (up to 7,000 parcels/hour at the Brașov hub, 20,000+ planned across new hubs), AI-supported customer operations, and the SAMY virtual assistant.

The company monetizes primarily through per-parcel and per-kilogram shipping fees for B2B and B2C shipments, commissions on cash-on-delivery collections (3% of collected amount), subscription-style access to the eAWB enterprise platform with volume-based pricing, surcharges (fuel index, oversized parcels, Saturday delivery, locker storage extensions), and cross-border delivery fees for regional volumes in Hungary and Bulgaria. Customer segments span enterprise e-commerce shippers (served via eAWB and dedicated account management), mid-market online retailers across fashion, electronics, and healthcare, individual consumers sending C2C parcels via the easyway service and SAMEDAY App, and easybox/SAMEDAY point hosts earning per-parcel commissions.

In FY2025 the group reported revenue of 1.6 billion RON (Romania over 1.4 billion RON), 135 million parcels delivered regionally, operational profit of 87 million RON in Romania (double the prior year), 400M+ lei invested, and a workforce of more than 6,000 employees and partners. Strategic posture is consolidating: Sameday acquired Pactic Group (Hungary, 2024), acquired Cargus (Romania, 2025), took a 24.9% stake in technology firm Zitec (2025), and agreed in January 2026 to divest Sameday Hungary to Austrian Post for integration with Express One Hungary.

Revenue model

1. Parcel Delivery (B2C & B2B): Per-parcel and per-kilogram shipping fees charged to e-commerce businesses and consumers for next-day and same-day delivery services. Next-day pricing: 27.5 lei first kg + 2.75 lei per extra kg (NOVS standard). Additional fees for oversized parcels, fuel index surcharges, Saturday delivery, and insurance.
2. Cash on Delivery (COD) Service: Commission charged on cash-on-delivery collections. Tariff includes 3% of collected amount as COD commission, with card payment integration via app.
