The Co-op is offering a new parcel service, following a successful pilot in 42 stores.
Customers can now send parcels from their local store and also have items delivered there as well.
Up to 450 stores are taking part in the ParcelShop scheme, for which the Co-op has partnered with courier firm Hermes.
Chris Whitfield, the Co-op’s Retail and Logistics Director, said: “As a community retailer we are committed to enhancing the communities in which we operate. The pilot scheme clearly demonstrated that the Hermes ParcelShop service is used and appreciated by many of our customers and so we are delighted to extend it to many more stores.”
Carole Woodhead, CEO of Hermes, added: “This partnership focuses on convenience, with consumers being able to buy groceries whilst also sending parcels, collecting or returning their online purchases, and vice versa.”
