Asos has teamed up with parcel delivery company HIVED to offer same-day, next-day, two-day delivery options to consumers in Greater London.
Operating completely on a series of electric fleet of vans, vehicles and bikes, Asos enables customers to place an order during the day and receive it at their door that evening as per Adam Scholes, Director of Delivery Solutions at Asos.
In an online post, the company said, “We operate an entirely electric fleet of vans, cars and bikes and offer same-day, next-day and two-day shipping options to all of Greater London. With a 99.99 per cent on-time delivery rate and a 99 per cent first-time success rate, we are excited to offer consumers the best possible delivery experience.”
Adam Scholes stated, “It’s great to be launching this new partnership with HIVED for Asos Instant deliveries into Greater London, as we continue our journey to reduce emissions from our operations.”
HIVED Co-chief Executive Murvah Iqbal added, “We have successfully scaled our parcel delivery network to support large enterprises focusing their delivery strategy on customer service and sustainability goals,” and added, “Asos is one of the largest global fashion retailers, and it is fantastic to see their commitment to innovative solutions.”
Gemma Neal, Head of Product at HIVED, affirms, “Given the explosion of e-commerce and deliveries in recent years, we need to scale delivery solutions that improve environmental issues, such as vehicle emissions and resulting air pollution.”
“We’re delighted that we can offer large enterprises a fantastic parcel delivery experience for their consumers.”
The service is presently being tested in East London, with ambitions to expand it throughout the city by the end of the year. This is a great move by Asos as it will help them to stay up with the demand for online shopping while also offering a green delivery alternative.
