The ANF promoted Hubbed parcel service claims 680 newsagent locations on their website.
Our marketplace of some 680 newsagents Australia-wide, coupled with great partners, delivers the best parcel, retail and lifestyle shopping experiences for the consumer.
Using the Find My Newsagent facility on their website you are taken to a map showing locations with Hubbed. Counting the locations listed gets to 238 locations: QLD: 65; NSW: 72; VIC: 17; TAS 21; NT 2; SA 19; WA 40; ACT 2. Even allowing for a miscount based on the map, the claim of 680 newsagent locations does not appear to be matched by the data published by Hubbed.
This matters as newsagents are promoted to get on board with Hubbed in part because of the ‘size’ of their network.
Hubbed and or the ANF are welcome to comment here on this.
Mark,
10 to 1 says they won’t
Ken I agree. Their track record is to complain but not in a forum or way where their position can be discussed or debated.
DHL phoned me yesterday re a Parcel Point styled service. After a few minutes they eventually said that there service through Hubbed. I immediately lost interest and feel sure that it was a call designed to get Hubbed in through the back door.
