Pigu Perku Group

What Pigu Perku Group does

Pigu Perku Group (UAB) is a Lithuanian private limited company headquartered in Kaunas that operates the PirkEU cross-border parcel forwarding and personal-shopping platform for Baltic consumers and businesses. Founded circa 2013-2015, the company addresses a structural friction in Baltic e-commerce: many European and international online retailers do not ship directly to Lithuania, Latvia, or Estonia, or impose high shipping costs. PirkEU solves this by providing (1) a Self-Shopping service that assigns customers a foreign warehouse address for delivery consolidation, (2) a Purchase Service that proxies purchases on the customer's behalf from European, US, and Asian online stores, and (3) a PirkEU Shop mediation storefront (powered by Shopify) that aggregates third-party European e-commerce deals. The platform integrates social login (Facebook, Google, LinkedIn), payment processing via Paysera, real-time multi-carrier parcel tracking, optional parcel insurance underwritten by ERGO Insurance SE, and a returns service covering Germany, Poland, France, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, and Czech Republic.

Underlying technology is a parcel forwarding and consolidation platform rather than a proprietary marketplace: orders are routed through warehouse addresses in 10+ origin countries (Germany, Poland, Spain, UK, France, Italy, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Latvia, Estonia, Japan, USA, South Korea), and last-mile delivery in the Baltics is handled via integrations with DPD, SmartPosti, Omniva, and DHL. A dedicated Verslui (Business Services) program adds bulk shipping, VAT-free purchasing from Germany and Latvia, and warehousing in Vilnius and Kaunas. Revenue mechanics are purely transactional: international shipping fees (starting at EUR 2.49), handling and service fees that scale with order value (approximately EUR 8 to EUR 505 for orders up to EUR 7,000), and optional usage-based insurance. The customer base is primarily a long tail of individual Baltic consumers, with a secondary, smaller B2B segment. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and the company appears to be founder-owned, with Tomas Bacys as CEO.

Core offering

Pigu Perku Group (PirkEU) provides international parcel forwarding, transportation, and storage services for Lithuanian and Baltic consumers (and businesses) who shop from European, US, and Asian e-commerce retailers. The company operates warehouses in Spain, Germany, and the UK where orders from multiple retailers can be consolidated, stored, and customs-cleared, then shipped onward as a single parcel to Lithuania via Baltic parcel-locker and courier networks.

Product overview

PirkEU is a parcel forwarding platform operated by UAB Pigu Perku Group that enables Lithuanian and Baltic customers to shop from international online stores across 10+ European countries, Japan, the USA, and South Korea. The platform's core offerings consist of three interconnected services: (1) Self-Shopping — customers independently buy from foreign e-commerce stores and use PirkEU warehouse addresses for delivery consolidation; (2) PirkEU Shop — a mediation platform aggregating best offers from multiple European e-stores; and (3) the Prekių nupirkimo paslauga (Purchase Service) — where PirkEU acts as a proxy buyer for customers who cannot or prefer not to shop independently. The platform also offers modular add-on services including Siuntos draudimas (Parcel Insurance) backed by ERGO Insurance SE, a Kainų skaičiuoklė (Price Calculator) for shipping cost estimation, Siuntos sekimas (Parcel Tracking) for real-time shipment monitoring, Prekių grąžinimas (Returns Service) for international returns to Germany, Latvia, Poland, France, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, and Czech Republic, and a dedicated Verslui (Business Services) program for B2B clients. Deliveries are handled through integration with DPD, Omniva, SmartPosti, and DHL.

Direct peers

• Stackry: US-based international parcel forwarding and consolidation platform with multi-carrier delivery and a tax-free shopping option. Mirrors PirkEU's US-warehouse consolidation model and consumer-to-consumer shipment flow.
• Buyee (Tenso): Japan-based proxy purchase and parcel forwarding service letting international buyers shop Japanese e-commerce sites. Comparable to PirkEU's Japan shipping route and proxy-purchase service offering.
• Planet Express: US-headquartered parcel forwarding and package consolidation service that receives international parcels at US warehouses and forwards them globally. Directly comparable to PirkEU's cross-border forwarding model, operating the same personal-shopper and consolidation value proposition.
• comGateway: Asia-headquartered cross-border parcel forwarding and personal-shopper service, notably strong on US-to-Asia flows. Directly comparable forwarder operating parcel-receiving warehouses and proxy purchase services.
• Forward2Me: UK-based parcel forwarding and personal shopping service with multi-carrier delivery and consolidation options. Operates the same consumer-to-warehouse forwarding model PirkEU runs in Europe.
• MyBox (Baltic Parcel Forwarding): Estonian parcel forwarding service enabling consumers in the Baltics to shop from e-commerce stores abroad. Operates the same model as PirkEU for the same destination region, making it the closest geographic direct peer.

Regional players

• Omniva: Estonian state-linked postal and parcel locker operator across the Baltics. PirkEU already uses Omniva as a last-mile partner, but Omniva also competes for direct cross-border parcel volume in the same Baltic geography.
• Zasilkovna (Packeta): Czech Republic-headquartered pickup-point network operating across Central Europe with growing Baltic expansion. Already integrated as a PirkEU pickup partner, it competes for last-mile delivery share in markets both companies serve.
• PostNord: Nordic and Baltic-focused postal and logistics provider. Competes regionally with PirkEU for parcel volume in the Baltics and provides an alternative consolidated delivery path for cross-border parcels.

Broad incumbents

• DHL Express / eCommerce: Global express and parcel integrator providing the cross-border line-haul PirkEU relies on, while also offering direct-to-consumer cross-border shipping services that compete with PirkEU's end-to-end package.
