Today’s main story
DPD has announced a partnership with Polish convenience store chain Żabka that will see the parcel delivery company have 9,100 PUDO points in Żabka stores across the country.
The service will be implemented by the technology partner Pointpack S.A.
DPD notes that according to Żabka analyses, over 5 million Poles would be interested in collecting or sending their parcels in its network stores.
Commenting on the announcement last week, Przemysław Tomaszewski, Sales and Service Development Director at Żabka Polska, said:
“The popularity of collection or dispatch services is constantly growing. Year to year, we record a several dozen percent increase in the number of processed parcels. We believe that co-operation with DPD Polska, one of the largest courier networks in the country, will further improve these results. Thanks to this solution, we can better respond to requirements of our customers, who will be able to conveniently collect or send their parcels on their way home or to work. We are working together on the development of the service. We want it to be even faster, more convenient and widely available to our customers”
Maciej Głowacki, Operational Director of DPD Poland, added:
“We are pleased to welcome Żabka to the international DPD Pickup network, which is becoming the most accessible network for dispatch and collection of parcels, with a total of 22,000 outlets in Poland and over 80,000 outlets throughout Europe. Our intention is to provide our customers with access to the most convenient DPD services in the nearest location and to ensure unique flexibility in terms of dispatch and collection. We constantly listen to our customers’ needs and therefore we improve and create new solutions both in physical and technological infrastructure, with a strong focus on responsibility towards the environment.”
