MetaPack hails hugely popular Cyber Weekend

MetaPack reports a 26% year-on-year rise in delivery volumes processed across its platform over Black Friday and the Cyber Weekend. The e-commerce delivery technology specialist had expected to see a rise of around 20%, but ended up shipping a total of 11 million parcels on behalf of European based retailers and brands between Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

In terms of industry sectors, MetaPack saw the greatest growth of orders processed in sport and leisure with a 34% uplift, clothes and fashion which rose by 32% and toys and games (22%). “We did anticipate healthy growth over the Cyber Weekend,” says Bruce Fair, Chief Revenue Officer at MetaPack, “However, these figures are beyond our expectations and reflect not only the continued huge popularity of Black Friday and the Cyber Weekend, but the success of our retail and carrier partners in engaging customers and meeting their e-commerce expectations.”
