DPD Portugal has announced the launch of Shop2Shop service, a solution for sending parcels from one Pickup parcelshop to another, developed with marketplaces in mind, aiming to encourage the circular economy.
DPD Portugal and Vinted, a peer-to-peer online marketplace dedicated to second-hand fashion, have partnered for delivery of orders on the platform through shipping integration options. The service will be available through DPD’s Shop2Shop service, with orders being deposited by the seller in a Pickup store or locker and picked up elsewhere in the network by the buyer.
“This new Shop2Shop service allows us to launch a consolidated offer of orders shipped from store to store, representing an economical and ecological shipping process for customers like Vinted. Our partnership with this successful circular economy marketplace, recently launched in Portugal, is proof that the Shop2Shop solution is the most suitable to support transactions between individuals”, said Olivier Establet, CEO of DPD Portugal.
DPD’s Shop2Shop solution will be available for Vinted users throughout the Portuguese mainland, but also for cross-border flows, namely Spain and France, according to DPD.
“Vinted is very excited about this partnership with DPD Portugal. This partner offers an excellent parcel delivery experience, contributing to resource savings in the form of shipping through the rapid expansion of its Pickup network. In addition, all these benefits align with Vinted’s goals of creating a hassle-free shopping experience and making second-hand fashion the first choice in Portugal.”, said Vytautas Atkočaitis, Director of Shipping Business at Vinted.
