Local Letterbox Parcel Shop Network Passes First Growth Milestone
LONDON, December 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Despite having only launched ten days ago, Local Letterbox has already amassed interest from over 300 dedicated franchisees who aim to join its fast-growing network.
The exciting new concept has caught the eye of industry experts, and those with the knowledge and experience within the industry realise its potential. Couriers, retailers, and more importantly, consumers[1] are all in need of a better solution to home delivery.
The online retail industry is a growing sector which is hindered by delivery difficulties. The three big issues are convenience, cost and the environment. Local Letterbox's unique parcel delivery solution tackles all three of these negatives with its host of secure parcel shops that are both local and convenient.
Fewer drops with more parcels to each of our carrier neutral outlets will cut the ever-increasing shipping costs. Better still, the reduction in drops means fewer miles on the road which is better for the environment.
The franchise, which aims to oust the headache of parcel deliveries[2] and returns, is building a network of stores allowing customers to collect and post parcels from locations that are convenient to them, any time between 7am and 10pm, six days a week. As part of a rapid growth plan, the cooperative is going to open 2,000 stores nationwide by summer 2013. Each shop will be dedicated solely to the Local Letterbox franchise and its growth plan will create an estimated 10,000 jobs across the UK.
Iain Wood, Commercial Director of Local Letterbox says, "Our revolution in home delivery is gaining huge momentum. We have had an overwhelming response and commitment from master franchisees that has secured hundreds of dedicated shops in our network already."
So it is no wonder why the recent uptake of Local Letterbox franchises has been so great. It is almost certain now that this rapid expansion can only continue to be as successful as it has been since its launch less than two weeks ago.
