UPS And HubBox Team Up To Simplify UPS Access Point® Location Integration For E-Tailers
16 Septembre 2019 - 5:00PM
- Software solution helps e-tailers give consumers more
flexibility and control over package deliveries.
- Consumers will soon have the option to ship directly to more
than 38,000 UPS Access Point locations in the U.S. and Europe.
- Streamlines UPS Access Point location lookup and label printing
solutions, increasing convenience for consumers.
As e-commerce continues to surge in popularity, today’s busy
online shoppers want deliveries made on their terms – they want
packages to arrive securely when and where they want. And if they
aren’t going to be home for the delivery, they want a safe
alternative.
E-tailers need a way to address this growing consumer need, and
that’s why UPS (NYSE:UPS) has teamed up with HubBox to create an
easy-to-use and easy-to-implement application that makes UPS Access
Point locations in the U.S. and Europe visible in the checkout
process.
HubBox’s software is easily integrated with most major
e-commerce platforms, including Shopify and Magento (see full list
at hub-box.com). HubBox works with retailers to incorporate the
Ship to a UPS Access Point location service into their website so
they can offer consumers convenient alternatives to home delivery.
In addition, HubBox can connect to retailers' label printing
solutions in order to streamline the label printing process. This
solution helps businesses of all sizes that don’t have the IT
resources or in-house knowledge to develop these capabilities.
Through HubBox, U.S. retailers can offer consumers the option to
ship to more than 21,000 UPS Access Point locations in the U.S. and
more than 17,000 UPS Access Point locations in Europe. European
countries with UPS Access Point locations include: Austria,
Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark, Finland, France,
Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland, Portugal and the United Kingdom.
“This is yet another example of how UPS is delivering solutions
to businesses that want to stand out in the competitive retail
landscape, while at the same time creating options and improving
convenience for consumers,” said Bill Smith, Vice President of
Global Product Innovation at UPS. “HubBox’s click-and-collect
solution can integrate seamlessly into a retailer’s website and
make it easy for customers in the U.S. and Europe to ship to the
best UPS Access Point location that fits their busy schedules.”
According to the 2019 UPS Pulse of the Online Shopper™ survey,
one in five shoppers prefers an alternative delivery location to a
home delivery. Retailers that offer alternative delivery options
can benefit from reduced shipping rates – as residential surcharges
do not apply to business deliveries. In addition, they can avoid
the inconvenience of failed deliveries.
“We’re thrilled to be working with UPS to make the convenience
of picking up packages at a UPS Access Point location even easier,”
said Sam Jarvis, Founder and CEO at HubBox. “Combining our
specialized software with UPS’s unrivalled transportation and
logistics network means that e-tailers of all sizes can employ an
easy and convenient local pickup solution offering speed, safety
and simplicity.”
With more than 40,000 UPS Access Point and 38,000 drop-box
locations around the world, UPS gives customers the global
advantage of an industry-leading network with more than 78,000
locations to pick up or drop off packages. UPS is in the process of
adding 12,000 additional UPS Access Point locations across CVS
Pharmacy, Michaels and Advance Auto Parts stores – bringing the
total number of locations to 21,000 in the U.S. and 40,000
globally. Soon, more than 90 percent of U.S. consumers will find a
UPS Access Point location within five miles of their home, offering
an extraordinary level of convenience and flexibility.
HubBox’s Ship to a UPS Access Point location solution will be
part of the UPS Ready® program, which is a suite of third-party
solutions integrated with UPS® technology, products and services.
