Delivery firm DX boosts click-and-collect convenience
Published: 26 January 2016
Logistics and parcel distribution company DX has announced the launch of DX Parcel Exchange, which allows consumers to collect their internet deliveries from over 1,000 convenient locations nationwide.
The service utilises offerings from both InPost, the provider of click-and-collect parcel lockers located at supermarkets, petrol stations and retail parks, and Doddle, whose purple stores are situated in railway stations and other major hubs across the UK.
DX Parcel Exchange will give customers the option to have deliveries made to InPost's 1,000 lockers and Doddle's 45 parcel stores, through one combined web interface, allowing them to collect their parcels at a place and time of day that best suits them.
DX will add new locations over time to complement those of InPost and Doddle.
DX chief strategy and marketing officer Stuart Godman said: "Click and collect has really expanded in popularity in recent years. Consumers are clearly enjoying the flexibility and convenience that online shopping offers and now expect the same from their delivery providers. Convenient collection services are therefore integral to fitting in with customers' busy lives.
"InPost and Doddle both have respected collection propositions and, coupled with DX's delivery and fulfilment capabilities, we're confident that DX Parcel Exchange will become a key feature in the online retail market."
InPost added that DX Parcel Exchange would "enable thousands more shoppers to choose their local InPost locker, which can be accessed 24 hours a day, seven days a week".
