Global e-commerce sales are projected to reach $6.33 trillion by the end of 2024. As online shopping grows, consumers expect secure and flexible delivery options. Whether it’s reliable home delivery or a safe alternative when they aren’t home, retailers must adapt to meet these demands.
To help address this, UPS has partnered with HubBox to offer an easy-to-implement solution that makes UPS Access Point locations in the U.S. and Europe visible in the checkout process.

Why Choose HubBox Shipping Software for Alternative Delivery?

Consumers are increasingly seeking alternative delivery options, especially when they can’t be home to receive their packages. With HubBox shipping software, retailers can seamlessly integrate pickup points into their checkout process, offering greater flexibility and reducing the likelihood of missed deliveries. This ecommerce integration boosts customer satisfaction and can drive higher conversions.

The impact of multiple shipping options

Offering multiple shipping options can significantly impact purchasing decisions. According to a Sifted survey, 34% of respondents stated they are more likely to complete a purchase when multiple shipping options, such as pickup points, are available. Providing this level of flexibility not only meets consumer expectations but can also help retailers differentiate themselves in the crowded ecommerce landscape.

“This is yet another example of how UPS is delivering solutions to businesses that want to stand out in the competitive retail landscape, while at the same time creating options and improving convenience for consumers. HubBox’s click-and-collect solution can integrate seamlessly into a retailer’s website and make it easy for customers in the U.S. and Europe to ship to the best UPS Access Point location that fits their busy schedules.”

Bill Smith ,Vice President of Global Product Innovation at UPS

“We’re thrilled to be working with UPS to make the convenience of picking up packages at a UPS Access Point location even easier. Combining our specialized software with UPS’s unrivalled transportation and logistics network means that e-tailers of all sizes can employ an easy and convenient local pickup solution offering speed, safety and simplicity.”
