Six different delivery options ensure that your products reach your customers exactly how and where they want them. A revolution for e-commerce shipping a service that is unique for the needs of both the sender and the receiver.

How does shipping work with Flex Delivery Service? Your customer is constantly updated on the progress of the shipment. What if the parcel arrives at the wrong time? Via a link sent by e-mail and/or text message, the recipient can access a management area, both before and after the first failed delivery attempt, where he or she can choose up to six customisation options. This will ensure that they receive your products when they want them.

The service includes the possibility of selecting a new delivery date or choosing a collection point. In addition, you can make further options available to your customers so that they can customise the service according to their needs: a new delivery address, a safe delivery location, the possibility of authorising a neighbour to pick up, and the possibility of refusing delivery.
