Parceline: A step towards personal service

Posted by | Jun 30, 2003 | |

Express parcel carrier Parceline has launched desk-to-desk, a new service delivering urgent parcels directly to a named recipient. The launch of this service shows Parceline’s focus on the premium end of the market and, if successful, could be the first step towards more personalized services in the express delivery market. The new desk-to-desk service is available to all Parceline’s Lasernet or EDI customers and ensures the delivery of urgent documents or parcels to a named recipient at a specified location within a particular organization. The idea behind this service is that it will drastically reduce the time it takes office workers to receive parcels by trusting the entire service to Parceline rather than to the internal mail system of the company in question.
