Save on shipping costs : Delivering into a local pickup location is typically better value than home delivery, allowing retailers to save on delivery costs.
Encourage cart conversions : When customers have the option to pick up their orders, it reduces their worries about missed deliveries and encourages cart conversions.
Give shoppers shipping options : Shoppers love shipping choice. Give your customers a secure, flexible and greener delivery option.
HubBox software powers local pickup integrations for retailers across the world including J.Crew, Williams Sonoma and Gap.
The HubBox app for Shopify enables online retailers to connect their customers to thousands of convenient and secure pickup locations across North America and Europe.
For some shoppers, home deliveries can be a huge problem (from missed deliveries to stolen packages). Local pickup options ensure that orders are successfully delivered first time - and customers can pick up at a time and place convenient for them.
Retailers can also make significant savings on their transportation costs as carriers (such as UPS, Hermes and DPD) typically provide discounted shipping rates on every shipment to a pickup location.
Local Pickup is also a green delivery option - this is because carriers are able to aggregate their deliveries into single stops meaning fewer vans on the roads and lower carbon emissions.
