Royal Mail is trialling new evening deliveries to make online shopping speedier. The six month trial, which is sadly restricted to folk living within the boundaries of the infernal M25 motorway, will let you select an evening delivery slot for items nabbed from participating retailers. So who’s on board to bring you you’re stuff right now?
We’d love firms like Amazon to get on the bus with the Royal Mail evening deliveries trial but right now the companies joining in are House of Fraser and beauty stuff slingers L’Occitane. Royal Mail says its talking to other companies about the project. Its also extending opening times for 600 of its busiest delivery offices on Wednesdays.
Mike Brown, Royal Mail’s fulfilment director, says: “Royal Mail is continually looking at ways in which we can invest in new services and innovations to help both retailers and shoppers have even greater choice over the delivery of items.”
The Royal Mail evening deliveries trial will allow shoppers at House of Fraser and L’Occitane can get their items delivered between 6pm and 10pm. Great if you’ve got emergency need for a new shirt or a half hundredweight of blusher. When other firms join up, this could be revolutionary for online shopping addicts.
Let us know: do you like the idea of the Royal Mail evening deliveries? And are you frustrated its just for the M25 dwelling contingent right now?
