DPD and Hermes team up to launch Parcel Shop network in Russia

Two rival parcel delivery companies in Germany have teamed up to build a presence in the Russian consumer parcels market. Hermes and DPD have launched a joint venture to develop a network of Parcel Shops throughout Russia, to be branded Hermes-DPD and run as in-store counters working closely with well-known Russian retail chains.

The network already has 300 outlets set up, the companies said, spread through Moscow, St Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Chelyabinsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Samara, Krasnodar and Rostov-na-Donu.

By 2014, the companies said their network would boast 1,500 shops in 44 of the country’s major cities.

Tatyana Yampolskaya, the CEO of the Hermes-DPD network, said the new Parcel Shops would offer Russians an “attractive delivery option”.

“Above all customers now have the possibility of collecting the goods they have ordered from distance-selling companies at an easily accessible location and at any time that suits them. Thanks to the reliability and efficiency of the Hermes and DPD network, they will also benefit from very attractive delivery times,” said Tamploskaya.
