Connect with Parcelly at the Air Quality Summit in London!

The new mayor of London Sadiq Khan recently made his first major policy announcement, unveiling plans to substantially increase the size of London’s clean air charging zone to tackle the capital’s illegal air pollution levels.  His concern over the matter demonstrates just how great an issue this is and at Parcelly we are proud to be a leading advocate for change in the right direction.  

Parcelly seeks to offer a greener alternative for online shoppers by reducing the number of driver destinations as well as parcels that require multiple delivery attempts.  Alongside this, we donate up to 5% of the price of each Parcelly Booking to further reduce the carbon footprint. For these reasons we have had much interest from London's councils as with Parcelly employees can stop sending their online purchases into the office to avoid missing the postman, but collect when and where they want, e.g. close to home or wherever is most convenient for them.

"The app is extremely easy to use and fast to update when handling parcels", says Pranavan, Manager at Neighbourhood Grocers. "We are very happy to be a Parcelly location as we used to accept parcels for the neighbourhood for free, as many customers would ask whether they could send their parcels to us. Now I can actually generate revenue for doing what I used to do anyway for free. I think Parcelly is a great concept and I keep referring Parcelly to our customers and other shop owners as well."

The Location of the Month award is a true reflection of the outstanding service Neighbourhood Grocers is offering to their customers and how Parcelly is used by the team to drive additional footfall into their store. 

Congratulations again to Pranavan and his team at Neighbourhood Grocers and a big THANK YOU for being such an amazing business partner.

Parcelly banishes the online delivery glitches

Parcelly, the parcel collection network was born to eliminate the pain of last-mile delivery. Founded in 2014, Parcelly offers a seamless and compatible click and collect network to consumers, online retailers and fulfilment companies.

E-commerce and on-demand delivery have transformed the way consumers buy online. Consumer purchasing behaviour and demands have changed, due in large part to the digital revolution. Far and away the biggest change in consumer purchasing behaviour has been the switch to online shopping. There has been a huge uptake of online shopping among consumers in Europe, and many e-commerce services have been brilliantly streamlined to suit the consumer’s needs. However, a gap remains when it comes to last-mile delivery.
Consumers want choice, flexibility and speed when it comes to their deliveries. Convenience is a large part of why consumers shop online but when online shopping is so good, why is delivery so difficult? If you miss your delivery it can be a real pain having to go after work to queue up at a depot. But it’s even worse that many of these depots close before 6 pm, forcing you to spend your Saturdays queuing up at the Post Office.
Click and collect has now become a must have for online retailers. By offering click and collect you can meet one of the crucial needs of the modern consumer: convenience. With Parcelly any online retailer can quickly and easily gain access to a rapidly growing network of click and collect locations.
