APCOA Parking is now working with the Scandinavian shipping service Instabox, which delivers parcels from e-commerce sites.
The service means that Danes can now pick up their parcels directly from the car park.
The partnership forms part of the APCOA parking hub business strategy.
David Lundqvist, chief commercial officer at Instabox, said: “APCOA’s nationwide urban hubs concept fits perfectly with our strategy of having our smart automated parcel lockers located where people pass everyday to create the most uncomplicated shipping experience. With our service, Danes can enjoy the freedom of choosing when, where and by whom a parcel is collected.”
Dan Kirk, head of marketing, business development and consumer relations in APCOA Parking said: “By adding Instabox to our list of partnerships we can provide Danes with even more options to get errands done straight from the parking lot.
“Our goal is to gather as many of the Danes’ needs as possible in one place, so that the valuable spare time people have, is not used on running errands all over town. This is a good step on the way. Additionally, this will contribute to decreasing heavy traffic in the bigger cities, a win-win for all.”
The first Instaboxes were set up Vejle and at Axel Towers in Copenhagen.
