DPD Austria has expanded its partnership with open-access parcel locker network operator MyFlexBox to secure nearly a quarter of its lockers at approximately 660 locations across Austria on a fixed term basis, providing customers with around 9,000 lockers exclusively available for the collection, return and shipping of DPD parcels.
Parcel stations are an important part of DPD’s out-of-home strategy and key component of its pickup network, which consists of over 3,200 locations (parcel shops and stations) across Austria.
Jonathan Grothaus, CEO and founder of MyFlexBox, said, “From the very beginning, DPD placed its trust in us and, with its innovative spirit, paved the way for a modern and digital out-of-home network.
“Together, we are committed to solutions that are not only efficient but also sustainable – with fewer routes, fewer emissions, and more responsibility for the future.”
DPD Austria managing director Rainer Schwarz commented, “MyFlexBox is an important partner for us, significantly supporting our expansion in the out-of-home sector and optimally meeting the growing demands of the market.”
As part of DPD’s delivery preferences, recipients can also define a MyFlexBox as their personal favorite parcel station in the myDPD app and have their shipments delivered directly there – providing more flexibility and convenience to customers.
As part of the partnership, the parcel stations will be jointly branded to ensure clear recognition for all DPD customers.
