DPD Now’s service is now available in the areas of Lisbon, Porto, Amadora, Sintra, Cascais, Oeiras and Loures with a fleet of 250 vehicles ranging from bikes to vans. There are plans to extend to other cities in Portugal in the coming months.
 
“It is with great satisfaction that we look forward to this partnership between DPD Portugal and Stuart. This new offer is the result of our vision of the evolution of the options offered at the checkout of online sales sites, in order to correspond to the most demanding consumers who do not want to wait to receive their parcel”, says Olivier Establet, CEO of DPD Portugal.

“More than a vision, this is a reality if we take into account the requests of many customers in this regard, as well as the enthusiastic reactions they expressed to us when we were presented with the new offer at first hand”, he adds.

Guilherme Conde, General Manager of Stuart in Portugal, also underlines the added value of this partnership and of the new service that results from it: “DPD Portugal is a well-known player in the Portuguese market and, therefore, we are excited about this collaboration and to join forces within our group in order to offer customers an on-demand, same-day and scheduled 1-hour delivery service. We feel energetic about this collaboration and the steps we will make together. We believe the market is getting more and more used to flexibility and faster deliveries and we want to provide a strong value proposition with the service Now.”
