Cargus, one of the biggest players in the Romanian courier industry, enriches its portfolio with Vinted, the largest online international consumer-to-consumer marketplace in Europe dedicated to second-hand fashion. The partnership with Vinted, which started its business in Romania in May, this year, is part of Cargus’ strategy to increase cross-border e-commerce and to link companies and shoppers across European markets.
Cargus offers Vinted a complex suite of courier services: parcel delivery from Romania to Poland and back, but also on the domestic market, from consumer to consumer. Users will be able to access the entire Cargus SHIP & GO network of approximately 3,000 fixed points and lockers across Romania and choose the most convenient one to drop off, pick up and return a parcel.
“We are proud that such an innovative and growth-minded company trusted us with the critically important role of being their courier provider, from the beginning on the Romanian market. We will offer them and their consumers the delivery excellence they deserve. Adding Vinted to our partner’s portfolio is a step towards consolidating our footprint in Poland and becoming a respected player on international markets”, says Oana Mandicescu, Chief Sales Officer Cargus.
Vinted joins a portfolio of large international customers, e-commerce players and important marketplaces, to whom Cargus offers a wide range of courier services. Cargus set its footprint in Poland less than a year ago and developed a complex operational infrastructure to link Polish companies to Romanian consumers. Cargus has put in place a cross-dock facility in Poland, that streamlines shipping operations, offers a maximum capacity of over 15 million parcels per year and a delivery timeframe of 24 and 72 hours, depending on shipment injection setup.
Cargus plans to extend its business to other countries in the region – Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Germany.
