Why Europe's consumers and retailers
choose the Post

Read more

Postal operators are a cornerstone of the fast-growing e-commerce industry and a crucial pillar of the EU’s Digital Single Market.

We operate in all 28 EU countries, handle some 4 billion parcels across Europe every year, serve 175,000 retail outlets, employ 2 million people, operate 258 million delivery points, collect from 720,000 street postboxes and account for 1 percent of the EU’s entire GDP1.

Parcel delivery in Europe has undergone a quiet revolution in recent years. State ownership and government support has been cut back dramatically. IT, mobile platforms and other logistics have been transformed beyond recognition. Inefficiencies have been rooted out and barriers to new entrants are lower than ever before.

Today, with the growth of e-commerce in Europe, end-consumers can simply go to their favourite webshop:  Click, Buy, and Get their purchases. Because The Post Delivers for Europe.

    Tino Kopanakis, InandOut Distribution

    “Price is important for us, and we greatly value Austrian Post’s customer-friendly approach in the rare event that a parcel is lost. There are bigger barriers to doing business across borders, for example it would help if the EU had a simplified EU-wide system for VAT returns.”

    Aurélien de Meaux, Cheerz

    “Cheerz’ customers are very demanding. We do our best to print and send their photos as quickly as possible, and we ask postal operators to deliver fast. We look at the price of delivery, and we value the fact that the posts deliver to every corner in Europe. We look to sell outside of France because it makes good business sense – a market of 500 million is better than a market of 65 million inhabitants – but we have found it works better if we localise our service because, like it or not, consumers often prefer to buy in their own country.”
