Delivery to a pickup station

Out-of-home delivery is nowadays pretty much a talking point and probably the delivery solution of the future. This form of shipments means deliveries to locations such as our Parcel Shops and Parcel Lockers, where parcels can be picked up (almost) at any time. With that your customers have the flexibility and convenience they desire.

Whether on their way home, on the way to work, after shopping or before going to the gym - recipients can easily integrate the parcel delivery into their everyday lives as they are free to decide when and where they would like to collect their parcel.
