It’s official, Australia really is a nation of romantics. With Valentine’s Day now behind us, here at Go People, we’re still catching our breath after our busiest and most successful day yet. That’s right, we over 7,500 deliveries on Valentine’s Day alone – delivering cards, flowers, chocolates, and gifts between our most loved-up couples!
1,000 Deliveries per hour
So, how did we fare with an average of 1,000 deliveries per hour (that’s 17 per minute!)? Did we buckle under the pressure? Absolutely not. This is because, unlike traditional courier services, Go People is geared and ready to handle any peak period, without compromising on speed and quality of service – that’s what we’re all about, and that’s why we exist.
22,000 Delivery Runners means happy faces all round
Go People’s Valentine’s Day was a huge, record-breaking success because we offer a highly-efficient crowd-sourced delivery solution which taps into a pool of over 22,000 Go People delivery Runners – and it’s still growing.
No matter what time of year or occasion it is, there’s always a Go People delivery Runner on hand to take care of your delivery needs right away. All you need to do is book your on-demand delivery using our platform, and a Runner will pick up your delivery and take it direct to the recipient in a flash. You have our word for it, our delivery Runners were witness to many satisfied Senders and happy, blushing recipients on the 14th of February. And we didn’t deliver any dead or wilted flowers.
Helping businesses beat the rush
Couples aside, we also know Valentine’s Day brings a huge commercial opportunity for many businesses around Australia – especially for retailers. This means they can have a vast amount of deliveries to make on this one day alone – and that’s exactly why our new and improved GoSHIFT service proved to be a smash success.
Through GoSHIFT, users can book bulk deliveries at a time or during a shift they see fit; they can even group those deliveries and assign each group to their own delivery Runner for added speed and efficiency. And, if your business has its own delivery drivers, they can be easily integrated into our management system for better organisation and transparency. For Go People, it’s all about flexibility and what really works for all our customers – not just a few.
