UK's Royal Mail launches parcel pick-up service to tap online shopping boom
Under Chairman Keith Williams, the former postal monopoly has been pushing through changes to transform itself into a parcel-led business to shore up its long-term profitability. The new service, called "parcel collect", means that online sellers and shoppers will no longer need to leave their homes if they want to mail or return a pre-paid item by post, said Royal Mail, which is listed as one of Amazon UK's carriers. For 72 pence a parcel, plus postage costs, postal workers will collect up to five parcels per address from the customer's home or a nominated place, the company said.
