Prioritize proximity to major expressways (A2, S17), intermodal terminals or rail links, access to regional parcel and LTL networks, on-site loading and cross-dock capacity, and nearby air freight options to support mixed domestic and cross-border lanes.

Expect lower monthly occupancy rates and competitive labor costs versus western Poland, with an available skilled workforce for warehousing operations. Savings on rent and wages can improve per-unit handling economics while supporting scalable headcount for seasonal peaks.

Common services include pick-and-pack, kitting, returns processing and light value-added operations. Evaluate SLA metrics such as order lead time, picking accuracy, dock-to-stock velocity, inventory accuracy, and flexibility for SKU proliferation.

Transit times to central Polish markets and Warsaw are generally short (same-day to 24-hour for many lanes); central Europe routes typically range 1–3 days by road. Carriers include national parcel operators, LTL networks, express providers and regional freight forwarders supporting eastbound and EU corridors.
