SINGAPORE — Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) has partnered with Pick Network, a local parcel locker provider, to provide consumers with the option of dropping off pre-labelled FedEx packages for delivery at over 1,000 Pick smart lockers located across Singapore.
This will add to FedEx's existing infrastructure of two FedEx facilities and over 410 drop-off points across the Republic, bringing the number of lockers customers can now access for drop-offs to over 1,500.
The move, announced on June 16, comes a month after FedEx and SingPost announced a collaboration to expand FedEx parcel drop-off points to all SingPost offices nationwide as well as at POPStop@Tampines MRT, increasing acceptance points from six to 43.
FedEx said the collaborations come in response to rapid e-commerce growth and rising consumer demand for greater flexibility and security in parcel handling options.
Pick's smart lockers, which will be available around the clock, can be found in residential estates, community hubs and shopping malls, and fit small to medium-sized parcels with dimensions up to 41 x 26 x 46 cm.
FedEx customers will be able to drop off their packages at Pick's lockers directly and have the option of self-collection at over 2,000 locations, including Pick Network.
Managing director of FedEx Singapore Eric Tan noted that 'by expanding our collaboration with Pick Network, we're building smarter, more accessible supply chains that give individuals and businesses even greater control over how, when, and where they ship'.
He added that expanding the FedEx drop-off and collection network in Singapore will support evolving customer preferences and improve pick-up and delivery success rates.
'This move is primarily driven by the continued growth of e-commerce and the need for smart convenient solutions that offer greater flexibility and adapt to customers' daily routines.'
Pick Network CEO New Soon Tee added that the partnership with FedEx has made it more convenient for consumers to send parcels through Pick's lockers to over 220 countries worldwide.
The collaboration also builds on the previous partnership between the two companies under the launch of the nationwide parcel locker network in 2021, for which Pick Network has since been providing parcel collection services for FedEx packages.
