We transported 379,000 packages in a single day, breaking last year’s record by 88%
Record-breaking Christmas sales reflected in figures recorded by Zásilkovna, the leading Czech technology-logistics company. On Monday, 16 December, Zásilkovna transported 379,000 consignments, which is an 88% increase when compared to the previous year. At the same time, it means the greatest number of consignments transported on a single day in the whole history of Zásilkovna. A dense network of nearly 2,700 pick-up points throughout the Czech Republic helped Zásilkovna successfully manage the Christmas shopping. Several days before Christmas Eve, pick-up points were the best way to get all presents delivered to their recipients in time.
““We are at the very peak of this year’s Christmas shopping period. It is obvious that it will be a record-breaking year again not only for Zásilkovna, but for the whole online shopping segment, and that the turnover of 135 billion achieved in 2018 will be exceeded.”
“The importance of personal pick-ups at pick-up points increases in the last few days before Christmas Eve, because pick-up points are where our customers find the greatest certainty of having their presents delivered on time. According to a survey by the Association of E-commerce, interest in home delivery of goods has been decreasing in the last five years.”
