As e-commerce continues to surge in popularity, today’s busy online shoppers want deliveries made on their terms – they want packages to arrive securely when and where they want. And if they aren’t going to be home for the delivery, they want a safe alternative.
Online retailers need a way to address this growing consumer need, and that’s UPS has teamed up with HubBox to create an easy-to-use and easy-to-implement application that makes UPS Access Point locations in the U.S. and Europe visible in the checkout process.
HubBox’s software is easily integrated with most major e-commerce platforms, including Shopify and Magento. HubBox works with retailers to incorporate the Ship to a UPS Access Point location service into their website so they can offer consumers convenient alternatives to home delivery. This solution helps businesses of all sizes that don’t have the IT resources or in-house knowledge to develop these capabilities.
Through HubBox, U.S. retailers can offer consumers the option to ship to more than 21,000 UPS Access Point locations in the U.S. and more than 17,000 UPS Access Point locations in Europe. European countries with UPS Access Point locations include: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark, Finland, France, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Portugal and the United Kingdom.
