CouriersPlease offering flexible delivery options
Australia-based CouriersPlease has announced that it is now offering more flexible parcel delivery options.
CouriersPlease said that online shoppers can now redirect their parcels – via an email notification – to their neighbour or other alternative address, or give the courier authority to leave the parcel without a signature.
Customers can also redirect their parcel delivery to a nearby POPPoint – which can be either CouriersPlease-nominated retail outlets (POPShops) such as a newsagent, petrol station or convenience store, andor parcel lockers (POPStations). POPShops operate for extended hours, seven days a week, and most POPStations are accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
CouriersPlease CEO Mark McGinley said: “Flexible deliveries are important to the growth of the online shopping industry. In our experience, online shoppers commonly nominate their home address for deliveries knowing they won’t be home to receive them, because more often than not, they have no other choice.
“With the Australian online retail market worth $20.1 billion and growing, CouriersPlease will ease the delivery process through its on demand delivery options and network of POPPoints around Australia. By the end of the year, CouriersPlease will have 1000 POPPoints, and will continue to grow them. These new offerings will not only benefit online shoppers, but they will ease the burden for retailers and businesses sending products across the country and internationally.”
