Gabriela Mahlelieva Courier company Sameday plans to invest EUR 6.5 million in Bulgaria in 2024 for the installation of new easybox lockers. The company owns the largest network of contactless parcel lockers in the country. It has been officially operating in Bulgaria since 2022.
According to a recent survey commissioned by Sameday, consumer attitudes in Bulgaria show that more and more customers are choosing to receive their parcels from a machine.
The interest in contactless receiving of shipments is a testament to the changing needs of end customers. In the coming months, we will continue to upgrade the traditional delivery," says Radoslav Krumov, executive director of Sameday Bulgaria.
Who are Sameday?
Sameday is a courier company operating in Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria, providing comprehensive delivery services.
In addition to traditional services, it expands its scope of activity through its network of 5,000 easyboxes in the three countries where it operates. Specifically in Bulgaria, there are 437 automated parcel lockers. In the past year, the company has invested over EUR 3.2 million in that country, and the plans are for these investments to increase nearly 3 times in 2024 and exceed EUR 8.55 million.
Specific investments in new easybox locations in Bulgaria will amount to EUR 6.5 million this year, Sameday told Economic.bg.
In Bulgaria, the share of online sales is growing at a high rate. Since we started our operations in the country in 2022, we’ve been using our long experience gained in Romania and Hungary to integrate high technologies and optimizations in the local market, and these are perceived very positively", says Lucian Baltaru, founder and CEO of Sameday.
Business clients
In Bulgaria, Sameday has partnered with nearly 1,500 online stores, including eMAG, Fashion Days, Douglas, and Decathlon.
The company offers its business clients the opportunity to personally load the shipments into the lockers with end customers receiving their shipments by means of a PIN code or a QR code.
