Collect+ Expands Network to 529 Stores Within M25
London, United Kingdom, October 24, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Innovative delivery and returns services offers real alternative to Post Office in the Capital.
Collect+, the breakthrough parcel delivery service which gives online shoppers the choice of collecting and dropping off parcels at local convenience stores, today celebrates its network expanding to 529 stores within the M25 alone, offering Londoners a real alternative to the 789 Post Offices within the same area.
With further Post Office closures expected to follow the forthcoming Royal Mail / Post Office review, Collect+’s growing network continues to offer an alternative to online shoppers seeking a delivery and returns service that is as flexible as online shopping itself Mark Lewis, Chief Executive of Collect+ said:
“This latest announcement underlines our commitment to making the Collect+ service the alternative delivery and returns option for both retailers and online shoppers. Our own research has highlighted consumer frustrations regarding age old Post Office processes that fail to fit with modern lives and ways of shopping, and with a growing network of stores open more than nine hours a day, seven days a week, we provide a choice and convenience that is very much in demand.”
Founded in February 2009 as a joint venture between Yodel, formerly Home Delivery Network, and PayPoint, Collect+ operates through a network of now over 3,500 specially selected PayPoint Stores across the UK.
