DPD expands partnership with PostMasters significantly

Best, 11 April 2017 – DPD and PostMasters has today announced that they are further expanding their partnership. This means that from now on you can send parcels via DPD from both the PostMasters Business Centres and the Express branches. DPD is responding to the increasing demand among consumers, entrepreneurs and SMEs for a broader range of postal and parcel services, and to not be dependent on a single party. Parcels can currently be sent via from the 30 PostMasters locations. The ambition is to expand these services over the course of the year to 100 locations across the country.

Individuals, entrepreneurs and SMEs that want DPD to deliver their parcels can do so by entrusting the entire service, from start to finish, to PostMasters. DPD itself has an extensive ground network in Europe and more than 30,000 Pickup parcelshops in 21 countries across the continent. This enables it to ensure that parcels reach their destination quickly and efficiently.

“With the ambition to be number 1 in the European parcel market, DPD wants to serve all market segments. Partnerships with other parties give DPD the opportunity to meet the demands of individuals, entrepreneurs and SMEs, and to grow in those segments. We have found a good partner in PostMasters for this market segment and we want to collaborate with them for the long term.”

Eric Dietz, CEO DPD Nederland

“We are very enthusiastic at PostMasters about this new partnership with DPD. The high quality of their services and DPD’s intricate network in Europe, combined with PostMasters’ growing retail network, offers both companies opportunities to grow in the retail market. PostMasters and the PostMasters Express store-in-store formula serve many customers efficiently every day and thus enable the company to retain them successfully. PostMasters also works with other retail chains, including Retail Development Company (known from The Read Shop, among others), and is planning to grow from the current 30 locations in the Netherlands to 100 by the end of 2017.”
