DHL eCommerce UK and HubBox collaboration enables retailers to integrate Pickup at Checkout software

DHL eCommerce UK has partnered with HubBox in a bid to make it easy for retailers to offer out-of-home deliveries and enhance the shopper experience with international orders. 

The tie up will enable retailers to integrate HubBox’s Pickup at Checkout software, allowing consumers to choose from thousands of DHL Parcel Pickup points across the UK and Europe.

Stuart Hill, CEO, DHL eCommerce UK, says: “It’s so important that retailers are able to respond to what consumers are looking for when it comes to delivery and right now, convenience is the thing that matters most to shoppers. This partnership allows retailers to offer even more convenient delivery options through a really simple plug-and-play solution.” 

Sam Jarvis, CEO at HubBox, says: “We’re delighted to partner with DHL to help more top retailers offer pickup at checkout – something 70% of shoppers now want to see. It’s an exciting time of growth across Europe for HubBox, and this partnership supports our mission to equip retailers everywhere with best-in-class pickup technology that drives convenience, efficiency and sustainability.”

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Online delivery will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards, which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
