Online retailers will now be able to offer convenient out-of-home deliveries for domestic and international orders thanks to a new partnership between DHL eCommerce UK and HubBox that aims to enhance the shopper experience.
The partnership will enable retailers to integrate HubBox’s ‘pickup at checkout’ software, allowing consumers to choose from one of nearly 150,000 DHL Parcel Pickup points within its cross-border network across the UK and Europe.
Stuart Hill, CEO, DHL eCommerce UK, explained, “It’s so important that retailers are able to respond to what consumers are looking for when it comes to delivery and right now, convenience is the thing that matters most to shoppers. This partnership allows retailers to offer even more convenient delivery options through a really simple plug-and-play solution.”
Sam Jarvis, CEO at HubBox, added, “We’re delighted to partner with DHL to help more top retailers offer pickup at checkout – something 70% of shoppers now want to see. It’s an exciting time of growth across Europe for HubBox, and this partnership supports our mission to equip retailers everywhere with best-in-class pickup technology that drives convenience, efficiency and sustainability.”
