"We are proud to be available on the platform of one of the global leaders in ecommerce delivery technology, and we look forward to the growth opportunities this provides us as we look to partner with the world's leading retailers."
David Randall, Strategic Partnership Director, Metapack said:
"With sustainability becoming an increasingly decisive factor when it comes to consumer delivery preferences, it's important that retailers invest in providing greater green delivery options. We're excited to be partnering with Urb-it across Europe as we continue to offer more retailers with more options for sustainable delivery than ever before."
According to Metapack research, 32% of consumers value a sustainability delivery option at checkout more than factors such as cost and speed. Urb-it offers a 99% delivery success rate, over 95% on time rate and is 100% delivered by its couriers on its e-cargo bike fleet - which not only minimises air pollution, noise pollution and congestion, but is also faster than traditional delivery vehicles in city centres.
