Parcel Connect is a new service that allows buyers to shop online and nominate to have their purchases delivered directly to their local Parcel Connect agent - rather than to their home or work address.

They need to be able to send and collect their parcels at a time and location that suits them. Be part of the boom in online retail! The growth in online shopping has created an increase of parcel deliveries in and out of residential areas, with consumers often not at home to take delivery of their purchase. There’s also been a rise in the number of parcel returns with unwanted or unsuitable items being sent back to the online retailer. The number of new start-up online businesses operating out of their homes continues to grow. This is where you can benefit.

They can also return a parcel to a seller via their Parcel Connect agent. As a Parcel Connect agent you are able to retail the Fastway Courier offering to walk-in customers. Online sellers and adhoc users of the postal service and courier companies can now drop parcels at their Parcel Connect agent and a Fastway Courier Franchisee will pick them up.
