Parcel2Go pleased as Collect+ opens 4000th store

Collect+, a partner service of courier specialist Parcel2Go, has announced the opening of its 4000th outlet – meaning that there is now a huge number of locations from which people can send parcels with ease.

Parcel delivery expert Collect+, whose latest opening is in Alloa in Clackmannanshire, offers a service which allows people to send parcels and return unwanted goods to retailers outside normal posting hours.

It bases its services within community resources such as corner shops, which are often open at times when more traditional facilities such as post offices are not.

Those who need to send parcels can use cheap courier booking website Parcel2Go to find a great deal to send a parcel using Collect+, then all they need to do is drop off their package at their nearest Collect+ facility.

Parcel2Go Marketing Director, Richard Mercer, said: "We are really pleased to hear that Collect+ has opened its 4000th store, as it means that even more people will have the choice to use its services.

"Here at Parcel2Go, quality, consistency and accessibility are paramount – and our partnership with Collect+ represents just that. People can pay for this service online via our website and then take their parcel to their local Collect+ shop.

"Courier service Yodel, another of our partner courier companies, picks up the parcels and delivers them to recipients in the usual way."

Earlier this month, Collect+ was named Third Party Logistics Provider Of The Year at the Retail Week Supply Awards 2011. Customers can either send parcels to friends, family and acquaintances, or use the service to return purchases to retailers.

Chief executive Mark Lewis said: "[Collect+] has been growing at a monumental pace since we started the business.

"Our watchwords are convenience and choice, and, as a result, we have created a service that enables retailers to protect their hard fought for brand image by offering their customers a returns service that is both convenient and reliable."
