December 19, 2011 EPR Network Leave a comment

Anyone planning to send Christmas packages in time for December 25 has just a matter of days left if they want to ensure their parcels arrive on time, Parcel2Go has said.

The online parcel delivery specialist is reminding private individuals and businesses that they must act soon if they still have consignments waiting to be sent.

Richard Mercer, marketing director at Parcel2Go, said: “Most of Parcel2Go’s final Christmas posting dates for international destinations, Europe and the UK have now passed, but there are still a few courier companies accepting deliveries. Our advice for anyone hoping to get presents or business consignments to people before Christmas is to act now.”

Customers with deliveries heading for Europe have until Tuesday, December 20 to get their package off with the Parcel2Go Express Saver or DHL EU Express services. When it comes to UK deliveries, then people can book a TNT UK Express service service through Parcel2Go until Tuesday, December 20.

Once this year’s festivities are out of the way, it will be back to work for many people across Britain, including Parcel2Go and the majority of UK’s leading courier services. Deliveries and collections will be made as usual on Wednesday December 28, Thursday December 29 and Friday December 30.

Richard added: “Once the festivities are over for another year, Parcel2Go and its courier partners are fully aware that many individuals and businesses will have important packages to send in the three days between Christmas and New Year.

“We want to remind customers that they can rely on the UK’s largest online parcel delivery service and renowned domestic and international shipping companies such as FedEx, Parcelforce and City Link to get their parcel deliveries to destinations on time and in perfect condition, as they do during the rest of the year.”

Don’t Wait For Last Post Dates Says Parcel2Go As First Snow Falls

December 12, 2011 EPR Network Leave a comment

Online parcel delivery specialist Parcel2Go has warned people not to delay ordering their presents online if they want to ensure goods will be delivered before Christmas.

Strong winds have hit many parts of the UK in recent days and the first snowfalls of winter have left parts of Scotland and northern England with a covering of the white stuff. Forecasters are now predicting that more bad weather is on the way.

Post and parcel deliveries were badly affected last year when snow led to major disruption on Britain’s roads, and Parcel2Go is urging shoppers to act now and not wait for the last post dates to be sure of receiving Christmas presents on time. An estimated 73 per cent of people will head onto the internet to purchase gifts this year, which means parcel delivery companies have had to step up efforts in order to deal with demand.

Richard Mercer, marketing director at Parcel2Go, which helps individuals and businesses ship in excess of two million parcels with UK courier firms every year, said being organised and making sure Christmas presents get into the hands of the UK’s leading courier companies as soon as possible will pay dividends.

He said: “We all know how strong the temptation is to leave things to the last minute, but clearly online present shopping is not something that can be done on Christmas Eve. There can be enough stresses over Christmas and so we’re calling on shoppers to make sure present buying and waiting for a parcel delivery are simple and stress- free experiences.

“Last year the weather played a significant part in determining whether deliveries could be made and so our message to shoppers is that breaking a habit many of us are normally guilty of, and buying presents a bit earlier, could end up saving Christmas!”

One of the many benefits of having Christmas gifts sent out with one of the UK’s leading courier companies is that you can monitor the progress of your packages online and, if necessary, organise alternative arrangements.

Richard added: “Buying in plenty of time for Christmas and making sure that you get a reliable parcel courier service from firms such as DHL or FedEx will ensure that everyone wakes up on December 25 with the gifts meant for them.”

Parcel2Go Stresses Importance Of Reliable Parcel Delivery To eBay Sellers

December 9, 2011 EPR Network Leave a comment

An estimated 5.8 million Christmas shoppers visited the retail and auction website eBay last Sunday and with many millions more due to visit over the coming days, online parcel delivery specialist Parcel2Go has called on sellers to be prepared for the Christmas rush.

Data released earlier this month claimed the average Brit will spend just over £250 on gifts this year and Richard Mercer, marketing director at Parcel2Go, said online sellers should be doing everything possible to appeal to shoppers.

He said offering a wide range of delivery options from courier services is one way for eBay sellers to ensure that they are making their auctions and fixed-price sale items available to as many people as possible.

He said: “Sellers offering limited domestic and international parcel delivery options are restricting themselves unnecessarily. All the retail figures being released at the moment point to significant opportunities this year for online businesses, with shoppers looking to enjoy the festive season before they think about tightening their belts further after Christmas.

“Parcel2Go’s eBay widget has been designed to make it quick and easy to add parcel delivery information to product listings and the wide range of services available will certainly appeal to potential customers.”

The important role that smartphones will play in online buying this Christmas has also been stressed. eBay expected about two items to be purchased every second during Super Sunday, once again highlighting the ever increasing use of mobiles by shoppers in the UK.

“The remaining shopping days before Christmas represent a fantastic opportunity for sellers,” Richard added. “We’re reminding them to act now, get their parcel delivery options up to scratch and make sure their customers receive the best service possible.”

Christmas Shoppers Should Go Online To Find Black Friday Deals, Says Parcel2Go

November 22, 2011 EPR Network Leave a comment

Britain’s leading online parcel delivery specialist Parcel2Go has reminded shoppers looking for great deals on their Christmas presents this year to remember to capitalise on Black Friday on November 25.

The annual event, which marks the start of the Christmas shopping rush in America, is designed to inspire US consumers and get the tills ringing at the start of the festive season. But thanks to the internet, next week’s shopping bonanza won’t be restricted to people living in the United States.

Amazon UK is one retailer that is joining in to bring British shoppers deals on a range of goods from books and music to fashion and beauty products, and Parcel2Go has reminded people not to miss out. Amazon will be offering timed deals between Monday, November 21 and Black Friday on the 25th.

Richard Mercer, marketing director at Parcel2Go, said: “Black Friday might have begun as a US tradition but deal-conscious shoppers from the UK now have the chance to beat the Christmas rush and grab themselves a few bargains.

“Online shopping has completely revolutionised the way people buy presents at Christmas and as long as people make sure that their gifts are being shipped with leading couriers then buying online is a great way to avoid the queues at the tills. There are sure to be plenty of Black Friday deals to be had next week and by choosing to send presents to friends and relatives using Parcel2Go, shoppers will be able to save even more money.”

Anyone thinking of ordering goods from American businesses on Black Friday might find that some retailers will only ship to US addresses. Parcel2Go offers customers the opportunity to rent an American address and have goods forwarded to Europe with professional couriers such as DHL and FedEx, so buying direct from the US is no problem at all.

Richard added: “The US address rental service has become incredibly popular and we’d expect to see an increase in demand from European consumers as Black Friday draws closer.”
