Migros wants to make online shopping easier

The coronavirus crisis is keeping bike stores' order books full - repairs and new bikes are in demand like never before. The exceptional situation is also giving online shopping a major boost. The number of parcels sent rose sharply during the lockdown. Migros is now expanding the option of picking up and posting DHL parcels in its stores. However, shipments must be registered and paid for online beforehand.

Migros is in tune with the times and announces: The coronavirus crisis gave online shopping a major boost. The number of parcels sent rose sharply. Customers increasingly want to pick up and drop off their parcels at any time and from any location.

Migros is therefore expanding the option of picking up and posting parcels in selected stores. The orange giant is now offering customers so-called DHL service points in 96 stores. Following a pilot test in 2019, Migros and DHL will introduce the service on July 1, 2020. The first step will be in the Migros Aare, Eastern Switzerland, Ticino, Valais and Zurich Cooperatives. The other cooperatives will follow on August 24.

The new service with DHL will be integrated into Migros' nationwide PickMup offering. It is important that DHL parcels are registered and paid for online beforehand. No franking can be done at the PickMup location. There are no additional costs for posting at the Migros store afterwards.
