Why Panzhong self-service delivered parcel lockers are becoming popular?

Traditional last-mile parcel delivery will no longer serve the growing needs of digitally connected consumers, who are looking for the lowest delivery charges, ease of receiving package and convenience of collecting parcel on their own time. The reasons behind the increasing popularity of parcels lockers are understandable. From consumers’ and online retailers’ perspectives, the reasons are below:

Consumers

1. Reluctant to wait endlessly for package delivery.

2. Don’t want to deal with the hassles of coordinating with courier personnel by adjusting their schedule.

3. Don’t prefer cash-on-delivery (COD). Even in the case of advance payment via NEFT or debit/credit card, the first two drawbacks still exist.

Online Retailers & Logistics Companies

1. Don’t want to spend so much on logistics, especially “last mile” delivery as it brings down profitability substantially.

2. Seek to save money caused by delivery re-attempts.

3. Need an option to delivery in bulk instead of individual delivery to save time and logistics cost.

These reasons are strong enough for consumers and online retailers to look for more efficient, convenient and cost-effective options, and parcel lockers have come up with that solution.
