What does Ship-from-Store mean?
Ship-from-Store means that local operational stores can deliver packages to the end consumer. Due to our large delivery radius of up to 20 kilometres, and with most retail stores located in the city centre, it is possible to deliver super fast from the store to the consumer’s doorstep.
How does Ship-from-Store work?
To make Ship-from-Store possible, it is necessary to turn physical stores into small local hubs. These hubs present the centre of the local, fast and sustainable delivery process. To clearly explain the process, we created a ‘Ship-from-Store’ infographic:
