In-car deliveries come to Switzerland

LeShop.ch, Volvo and Swiss Post are teaming up to offer online shoppers the option of having their purchased delivered to the boot of their cars. Volvo In-car Delivery works with a digital key which provides temporary access to the vehicle. Users register for In-car-Delivery, order their goods at LeShop.ch and then select their Volvo as the delivery location. The parcel carrier locates the car by geolocation, opens the boot using the temporary digital key and delivers the order. The customer then receives a notification of delivery and the digital key expires.

Volvo developed its In-car Delivery service in Sweden – and scooped the Retail Customer Access award at last year’s World Post & Parcel Awards.

Dominique Locher, CEO of LeShop.ch, commented: “With deliveries to car boots, we are coming very close to our vision of seamless shopping. Working mothers or fathers have everything they need when they get into their cars in the evening. Without having to make extra trips to the shops or carry parcels.”
