PICKUP, a last mile delivery service company, recently announced the addition of small item deliveries of groceries, household supplies, baby goods and pet products to support the overwhelming need for same day delivery of essential goods to consumers.
“In light of a 108% surge in e-commerce, accelerated by COVID-19 and social distancing, PICKUP quickly responded to the increasing consumer demand for contactless, last mile delivery from store, curb or distribution center in 51 markets across the country,” said Brenda Stoner, CEO of PICKUP.
Traditionally focused on delivering big and heavy retail goods, PICKUP has been affected by the recent closure of many of its partners’ stores. PICKUP then released PICKUP Enterprise, a technology solution that supports Buy Online Delivery From Store, supported by the company’s omni-channel, Delivery-as-a-Service platform. In order to safeguard retail partners and consumers, PICKUP also introduced its contactless same day delivery service.
“We have heard from many existing and new partners that there is a significant need for reliable same day service on bags and smaller items,” said Stoner. “In response to the current environment, we accelerated the development and release of this consumer-friendly lower rate via our website and directly with select retail partners.”
With PICKUP’s same day and scheduled delivery service, retailers can offer buy online deliver from store, curb or distribution options to their customers and safely deliver items directly to their homes.
