OFFER GREATER CONVENIENCE WITH PARCEL PICKUP

As consumer demand for choice and flexibility around deliveries rises, there’s an easy way to offer greater convenience: Parcel Pickup.

Parcel Pickup allows your UK and European customers to collect their orders at thousands of local out-of-home locations, including convenience stores (which open early and close late) and 24/7 lockers.

93% of the UK population are just 10 mins from their nearest DHL out-of-home location.

European shoppers can choose from 145,000+ lockers, parcel shops and convenience stores.


WHY IS PARCEL PICKUP GOOD FOR BUSINESS?

  • As demand for out-of-home grows, stay ahead of your competitors 
  • Fewer missed deliveries mean happier shoppers and more repeat business
  • Offer customers a more a ordable delivery option versus home delivery
  • Reduce cart abandonment by 5% on average3 
  • Enjoy cheaper shipping costs versus next day delivery to homes

THE EASY WAY TO GO GREEN

50%

of consumers are interested in sustainable delivery options

67%

of UK consumers say saving emissions by collecting from a convenience store appeals

Parcel Pickup is more environmentally-friendly versus home deliveries. As we aggregate deliveries there are fewer drop-offs, saving emissions. Plus, the least sustainable delivery is a failed one, and out-of-home deliveries are more successful first-time. That’s why it’s part of Eco on the Go: a suite of greener ways to deliver and return.

With DHL, your customers can also return parcels to our network of lockers and parcel shops across the UK and Europe. And as 42% of consumers say they won’t make a purchase if they don’t like the returns policy, it’s never been a better time to provide a truly joined-up exible solution.
