PayPoint has announced a partnership with China’s largest courier, SF Express, that aims to let customers drop off and collect parcels going to and from China at more than 7,000 Collect+ locations by the end of 2025.
Collect+ locations will initially be prioritised in areas populated by the Chinese community, as well as foreign students where demand is anticipated to be highest.
Roll-out to initial stores is effective immediately and will continue over the course of 2025 until a total target of 7,000 locations is reached.
Nick Williams, Director of Parcel Services, PayPoint, said: “In today’s landscape of global e-commerce, international orders of goods and services are more important to people in the UK than ever. Once again Collect+ is delivering for its retailer partners by enabling them access to a high-volume courier, boosting the potential to earn commissions even further. Similarly, as of today people across the UK have, from today, the ability to receive, return or send with SF Express in an easier, more convenient way than ever.”
Liu Yang, Director of UK District, SF Express, said: “We are thrilled to partner with PayPoint which brings us better access than ever to the UK market. Parcel traffic to and from China remains at an all-time high and we expect this to continue over the coming years. This solution represents our commitment to bringing the best possible access to our services no matter where in the UK you are sending from or delivering to.”
