Polish media reported that DPD Poland is offering a lower price for to-door delivery than for delivery to parcel lockers. Marek Różycki (Last Mile Experts) and Ian Kerr (Postal Hub Podcast) discuss:
- Is this just a "loss leader" for DPD Poland?
- Or is it a "highway to hell"?
- Delivery density for parcel lockers
- Quality of delivery (e.g. timeliness and delivery frequency)
- Volumes and economies of scale in the last mile
- DPD Poland's out-of-home delivery network including parcel lockers
- Out-of-home delivery competition from Allegro and AliExpress
- Finding quality locations for parcel lockers
- Finding a niche to compete in the last mile, rather than competing head-to-head
- Superfast, fresh, and white glove delivery
