Parcel2Go.com Reacts to Rising Expectations by Launching New Delivery Offers…
Leading parcel delivery comparison website Parcel2Go.com has launched a new delivery pricing option in response to ever-increasing customer demands.
The new service will apply to small items weighing up to and including 1 kilogram, and can now be sent across the country for just £2.16 ex. VAT, making it the cheapest option around, which will no doubt be greatly appealing to retailers and everyday consumers alike.
Robert Mead, Marketing Manager at Parcel2Go.com, said the idea was born after examining the marketplace and identifying where a different service could be offered: “Customers’ expectations of delivery are constantly changing, but recently we have seen them become far more demanding. We know from the introduction of Amazon Prime and the reported development of drones that people want their deliveries made faster, but they don’t want to pay through the nose for this service. It’s vital that businesses respond to this. If they don’t, their competitors will.”
Following huge success in New York, Amazon recently expanded its one-hour Prime delivery service to the US city of Seattle, which sees residents able to order from tens of thousands of items such as everyday groceries, paper towels, alcohol and even Kindle tablets and televisions, and have them within 60 minutes.
The service operates seven days a week between the hours of 8am and midnight, with a two-hour delivery window available for those who don’t want to pay, which again highlights the ever-changing demands of consumers.
Parcel2go.com works with some of the largest courier companies in the world to deliver an efficient and reliable service to all of its customers. Not just specialising in low-priced domestic deliveries, they also provide an international delivery service, which allows customers to compare and choose the option best suited for them.
“Our new 1 kilogram delivery option will appeal to a wide range of people,” Robert continued. “This will benefit large retailers who frequently find themselves paying large delivery fees even when sending single items, to independent eBay sellers who specialise in products such as jewellery. For the latter in particular, high delivery prices can mean they miss out on a profit. By having access to cheaper deliveries, retailers can potentially pass the savings on to customers, making their services all the more appealing.”
The team at Parcel2Go.com also believe that by introducing rock bottom prices, the brand’s ongoing ‘Sent With Love’ campaign – which encourages people to send meaningful packages to loved ones in distant lands – will become even more accessible. You can learn more about the campaign here.
Robert added: “Naturally, the growth of the internet has had a dramatic impact on the way we communicate and keep in touch. However, we think it’s a real shame that the excitement of receiving a sentimental parcel appears to have been lost. We hope that by making parcel delivery even more affordable and accessible, more people will feel compelled to send meaningful packages around the world.”
