6 reasons why 2015 will be the year of InPost Parcel Machines

Growth of e-commerce in Poland

The e-commerce market in Poland has been growing dynamically over the past five years. As recently as 2010, its value was estimated at PLN 15.7 billion, but a double-digit growth rate has almost doubled this figure to 27.3 billion at co tember 2014. The upward trend is sustainable and shows that Poles are increasingly trusting of e-stores and are buying more and more online. When ordering, they expect cheap and fast delivery, as well as flexibility when it comes to picking up their products. They find all three qualities in Paczkomat InPost. In December 2014, we broke our order record!

Allegro InPost

The agreement with Allegro, signed in November 2014, introduced two extremely low-cost and revolutionary forms of delivery for handling returns - the following. Allegro Paczkomaty InPost oraz Allegro Polecone InPost. Free returns and low postage prices will attract new customers to the Sellers, who will no longer have to worry about misplaced purchases. This is because returns are not only free but also very easy to use.

Payment card readers in every InPost parcel machine

The end of October 2014 was good news for people who want to pay for their online purchases only on delivery. This is because each Parcel Machine has a payment card reader, which is sure to please those who have so far, for various reasons, lacked confidence in e-tailers.

Cross-border

Over the last few years, InPost's parcel machines have been expanding. Today machines "made in Poland" are already operating in 22 countries - outside of Poland in France, Malaysia, Chile, Australia and South Africa, among others. This is the largest infrastructure of its kind in the world. In 2015, we will take another step to strengthen it - we will introduce overseas deliveries to European Union countries!

Potential for new foreign markets

In 2014 alone. Parcel machines made their presence felt in France and Italy. In 2015, it will be time to develop the service and write itself into the minds of foreign consumers. There is particular potential in the very rich and developed online shopping markets in France, the UK or Italy.

Quick Returns

In 2015, we expect return logistics to increase in popularity. A flagship example is the quickzwroty.co.uk service, which allows online shoppers to easily return online purchases. Why is this so important? Firstly, US research shows that 95% of customers return for their next purchase to an e-shop where they had a positive return experience. Secondly, recent changes to the E-commerce Act extend the time to return goods to 14 days. Thirdly, E-shop offering free returns eliminates the advantage of the stationary shop over it . And fourthly, return logistics opens up InPost Parcel Machines to other industries, not necessarily related to e-commerce. Examples include Samsung's equipment service or UPC and Vectra decoder returns.
