Parcelhero, the UK’s leading price comparison site, has joined forces with Royal Mail to offer its popular courier services. The partnership will deliver a significant increase in price options and collection times for customers.
Parcelhero, the UK’s leading parcel price comparison platform, has announced a new partnership with Royal Mail. The new service integrates Royal Mail’s courier services into Parcelhero’s suite of offerings.
Now, Parcelhero customers can compare Royal Mail’s competitive rates and options alongside its wide range of existing carrier services. The addition of Royal Mail gives customers more choice and flexibility in selecting a service most aligned to their personal cost and time requirements, bringing them more choice and control.
Parcelhero’s founder and CEO, Roger Sumner-Rivers, says: ‘This is the first direct partnership between Parcelhero and Royal Mail, the UK’s largest provider of postal services, although Parcelhero has offered its customers the choice of Royal Mail’s express parcels service, Parcelforce, for many years.
‘Parcelhero customers can now organise a Royal Mail courier for exactly when they are needed. Whether it’s a letter or a 20kg shipment, senders can now compare Royal Mail’s fully tracked services directly against every other carrier, adding value and flexibility to their shipping choices. Many individuals and businesses are very familiar with Royal Mail’s services, and we are delighted to add these to our wide range of courier partners.’
