Fastway Couriers’ new parcel pick up and drop off service, Parcel Connect, has partnered with Nparcel.

Owned and operated by the Victorian Newsagents Association (VANA), Nparcel works with courier transport companies and appoints Newsagents across Australia as alternative delivery points.

Nparcel has more than 800 outlets in all capital cities and many regional areas across Australia.

Parcel Connect allows customers to send, collect, and return parcels from businesses that trade extended hours.

Andrew McKenna, GM of Parcel Connect, says the new partnership with Nparcel provides customers with an alternative to traditional postal or courier services.

“Growth in online shopping has led to an increase in parcel deliveries in and out of residential areas. Rather than online shoppers rearranging times for missed deliveries or taking time out of their day to send or return a parcel, they can now visit their local newsagent,” McKenna said.

“Together with Nparcel, our aim is to provide customers with a simple solution for parcel requirements.  With such a strong footprint across Australia, Nparcel is a great fit for Parcel Connect and we look forward to this exciting new venture,” adds Andrew.
