Parcels2Post service said to offer potential savings of up to two thirds on cost of posting parcels up to 15 kilograms in weight.
Cartridge World Slough announced that its customers will have the benefit of using the new Parcels2Post service, enabling them to use a touch screen terminal, similar to a cashpoint machine or self-service till, to send parcels anywhere in the world via a global network of carriers. Payment can be made by credit or debit card prior to the item being dropped into a secure post box ready for collection and sending.
The service is part of B2C Europe, said to be “one of the fastest growing parcel distributors in the UK”, and uses the benefits of volume discounts and “intelligent parcel routing” to reduce postage costs, creating “a keenly competitive parcel post service”.
Ian Chai, Owner of Cartridge World Slough, commented: “At Cartridge World Slough, we’re always looking to save our customers’ money – both business and retail. Our range of great value inkjet and laser printer cartridges offer savings of up to 30 percent [compared to OEM cartridges]. Our new parcel service is another way of offering quality at a significantly lower cost.”
He added: “I see this service being of benefit to the growing numbers of internet shoppers and eBay users. It also offers additional savings for small businesses that are VAT registered. Our high street location and six days a week opening makes it a realistic and money saving alternative to the post office. And of course, traceability is built into the service, so customers have complete peace of mind.”
Meanwhile, Parcels2Post’s Chief Operating Office, Jon Bunston, said: “Our new service has been two years in development and extensively tested. We’ve used customer feedback to perfect it. The service has been so well received that we are now ready to expand it to other locations – of which Cartridge World Slough is the first. Their location and commitment to customer service, makes them an ideal retail partner to work with.”
