InPost extends cooperation with Allegro
Several thousand InPost Parcel Points available for Allegro users
InPost, a leader in logistics solutions for the e-commerce industry in Europe, has extended its cooperation agreement with the Allegro shopping platform. As a result, Allegro users have gained access to more than 2,000 new collection points within PaczkoPunkt InPost. Until now, users could choose between delivering their purchases to over 21 thousand Paczkomat® InPost machines throughout Poland or the option of using a courier service.
InPost's PaczkoPunkts are stationary collection points that offer professional service and even wider availability. Importantly, Allegro customers who have Allegro Smart! gain even more. Not only can they enjoy free delivery for purchases worth PLN 45 via Paczkomat® - but also, they gain delivery on Saturdays at no extra charge both via Paczkomat® and to PaczkoPunkt.
- Allegro shoppers love deliveries via InPost - we see this in the year-on-year increase in the volumes of parcels in our sorting centres. Therefore, the new service will certainly be welcomed - as it will make the delivery of Allegro purchases even easier and more efficient. Our great advantage is speed and convenience, and InPost's offer within Allegro Smart and special deliveries on Saturdays will attract even more users of the biggest shopping platform in Poland. The quality and speed of delivery is often crucial to a purchase in a given shop or platform, motivates and reduces the number of abandoned baskets. We observe such trends in every European market in which we operate. Hence, it is only natural that shopping platforms cooperate with the best logistics operators - said Rafał Brzoska, founder and CEO of InPost.
- Allegro is continuing its efforts to make online shopping even more convenient and accessible. Working with InPost, we are expanding delivery and collection options, which translates into convenience and satisfaction for our customers - underlines Artur Armour of Allegro.
Consumer research also confirms that InPost is the best recognised brand among Internet users in Poland. Aided awareness of the brand is as high as 97% and spontaneous awareness is 83%[1].
