DPD, Austria's leading private parcel service, is significantly expanding its existing Parcellocker partnership with myflexbox and will secure nearly a quarter of all lockers at approximately 660 locations on a fixed-term basis. This means that parcel customers now have approximately 9,000 lockers exclusively available for the collection, return, and shipping of DPD parcels.
Strategically important pillar in the OOH sector
Parcel stations are a strategically important pillar of DPD's out-of-home strategy and optimally complement the existing pickup network, which now consists of over 3,200 locations. They offer the advantage of being accessible around the clock for the collection, shipping, and returns of parcels. In this way, DPD offers its customers more convenience than ever before.
"In this context, myflexbox is an important partner for us, significantly supporting our expansion in the out-of-home sector and optimally meeting the growing demands of the market,"
emphasizes DPD Austria Managing Director Rainer Schwarz.
Jonathan Grothaus, CEO & Founder of myflexbox, says:
"DPD was our first parcel service on the Austrian market – a bold step that laid the foundation for our shared success story. From the very beginning, DPD placed its trust in us and, with its innovative spirit, paved the way for a modern and digital out-of-home network. Today, we are celebrating the milestone of around 660 locations in Austria, demonstrating how strongly our partnership has grown. Together, we are committed to solutions that are not only efficient but also sustainable – with fewer routes, fewer emissions, and more responsibility for the future. For us, DPD is a pioneer and hero of this development, with whom we will continue to boldly shape the delivery of tomorrow."
myflexbox as your favorite parcel station
As part of DPD's delivery preferences, recipients can also define a myflexbox as their personal favorite parcel station in the myDPD app and have their shipments delivered directly there. This gives DPD customers even more flexibility and convenience when it comes to parcel delivery. They can decide when and where their parcels are delivered.
As part of the partnership, the parcel stations will be jointly branded to ensure clear recognition for all DPD customers.
