    3. Pickup points

    By offering 7-10 alternatives, your customers are able to choose the most convenient pickup point. According to Bring Research, customers are more likely to complete the purchase if presented with pickup points located nearby.

    We therefore recommend displaying the pickup point’s address and distance from the customer’s address to each pickup location in meters/kilometers to make it easy for the customer to assess which pickup point is closest to them.

    Flexibility is important, and we therefore recommend that you display opening hours and include parcel lockers among your pickup points.

    According to Bring Research, customers prefer checkout showing carrier logos to enable them to easily recognize their trusted carriers. For shipments going to consumers in Sweden, Denmark, or another country apart from Norway, use the Bring logo. For shipments going to consumers in Norway, use the Posten logo.
