ParcelPal Adds Additional Drivers For Impending Canada Post Strike

ParcelPal Adds Additional Drivers For Impending Canada Post Strike


Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - ParcelPal Technology Inc. (“ParcelPal” or the “Company”), (PKG:CSE) is an on-demand delivery service that makes sending packages easy. ParcelPal software instantly connects businesses to the ParcelPal network where items are quickly and affordably delivered locally though crowd-sourced couriers.

In light of the impending Canada Post strike, ParcelPal has expanded their operations and begun bringing on more delivery drivers to service the lower mainland. As the strike approaches, local businesses are scrambling to find alternatives to deliver general mail and products to their customers. These companies know that if their mail or parcels are en route when the Canada Post strike happens they will be held by Canada Post for 6-8 weeks until the strike has been resolved.  

Once the Canada Post strike is active there will be additional volume that is absorbed by local carriers. Local carriers find this challenging as they have a fixed amount of capacity. A large amount of capital is needed to buy new delivery vehicles, hire more staff and rent warehouse for the sudden increase in volume that will only last for a limited time. ParcelPal however, has no warehouses and can increase delivery drivers in mere hours to service needing customers.  The ParcelPal technology enables businesses to sign up and begin delivering their products in mere minutes.

President and CEO Jason Moreau states, “In light of the Canada Post strike, our team is ready to take on the demand that will suddenly shock the market. The technology behind ParcelPal can handle thousands of simultaneous deliveries, so we are ready to service the local Vancouver businesses.”
