Hi all Three years ago, we were running an eCommerce company, and our customers were complaining about shipping being too expensive and theft stealing their deliveries. One of them said she would love to pick up her parcels at the local Convenience, Pharmacy, or Grocery store instead of home delivery. Shipping this way would be about $3 cheaper as it would not be residential but commercial delivery. As we gave this idea a try, we modified our checkout, adding a local pickup shipping option. The results were fantastic. About 28% of our online shoppers switched to the new shipping option; our sales increased by 15%. So we decided to create a platform for any online retailer (like the one on Shopify) to utilize this shipping option. Since then, the platform called Via.Delivery has been created It aggregated 36,000+ pickup locations nationwide, like those in Walgreens, Dollar General, CVS, FedEx offices, etc Partnered with FedEx for a discounted delivery Created plugins for Shopify, Woocommerce, Magento, Shipstaition, and other popular platforms Demo link is below https://via.delivery/demo And this Friday, we finally went live on one massive online retailer. Perry Ellis international. You can now test it on: https://www.perryellis.com https://www.cubavera.com https://www.originalpenguin.com and others. I have never seen so many orders going through the platform. Online shoppers choose it nationwide, with California, Texas, New York, Illinois, and Washington in the lead. Mostly urban and suburban areas. Testing it on smaller retailers, we know that the NPS score is 75-80, while other carriers usually have 30-40 ish.

And if you want to see this shipping option in other online stores, please mention them in the comments below (like XYZshop.com). That will help us to get there.
