Parcel Pending, the nation’s leading provider of innovative package management solutions with 100% Always-On Customer Service®, unveiled its refrigerated BOPIS lockers.
These innovative lockers offer a much-needed solution for retailers that sell temperature-sensitive items like dairy, flowers, pharmaceuticals, meal kits and more. According to the Food Marketing Institute (FMI), 70 percent of U.S. consumers will be grocery shopping online by 2024. This will amount to an estimated $100 billion in sales.
That’s the equivalent of every U.S. household spending $850 online for food and beverages annually. Moreover, FMI and Nielsen report that online grocery spending is projected to make up 20 percent of the total U.S. food and beverage market share by 2025.
“With buy online, pick-up in store (BOPIS) becoming widely adopted by consumers, retailers are looking for solutions that save valuable time for their associates and enhance their customer experience,” explained Lori Torres, CEO of Parcel Pending. “And that’s where we come into play. We designed these refrigerated lockers to preserve perishable online orders until they are ready to be picked up. No one wants warm milk, melted chocolate or wilted flowers.
