We were able to impress on several levels.<\/p>\n<p>Smaller than many well-known competitors, we are characterised by partnership and flexibility. <br \/>OCEANSAPART is not just one customer among many, but receives personalised support.<\/p>\n<p>We respond specifically to our customers\u2019 wishes and find solutions &#8211; even for special challenges. For example, with <strong>extended collection times<\/strong> and the<strong> integration of desired carriers<\/strong>, we can offer short delivery times abroad.<\/p>\n<p>Another advantage is that we deliver directly to metropolitan areas with over <strong>45 connected last-mile-carriers<\/strong>, thereby gaining additional transit time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: white;\">PolAND\u00a0and delivery to lockers<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>In Poland in particular, we have an advantage over other providers: by recording the sizes and weights in our HUB (main handling base), the correct locker sizes (depending on the size of the parcel) are selected for delivery.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">94 % of online shoppers in Poland opt for delivery to so-called \u2018lockers\u2019 or parcel boxes <br \/>(Source: InPost, Kantar research).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>These serve as self-service, pick-up and drop-off stations that are accessible around the clock.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We ensure that the correct locker sizes are selected before delivery to the final delivery service.<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In our HUB, each consignment is recorded with a DWS unit (Dimensioning, Weighing and Scanning System) and the appropriate box and the correct locker size are selected and reserved based on the recorded data. This means that no subsequent surcharge is triggered at InPost due to the wrong locker size.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/vecteezy_smiling-beautiful-caucasian-woman-client-holding-cardboard_46703617-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>If, contrary to expectations, a consignment is too large for the compartment, it is automatically redirected to an alternative delivery to the front door if the customer so wishes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The recipient has the choice and is automatically informed of every tracking event.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>PARCEL.ONE\u2019s delivery partner InPost in Poland has more than 22,000 such lockers. These parcel boxes can be used not only for receiving but also for returning goods.<\/p>\n<p>For OCEANSAPART we deliver approx. 56% of all shipments to Polish InPost lockers.<\/p>\n<p>44% of recipients decide in favour of home delivery, of which over 10% spontaneously decide in favour of loose delivery during delivery. This happens seamlessly in direct communication between InPost and the recipient, as over 7 million recipients already use the delivery partner\u2019s app.<\/p>\n<p>OECEANSAPART has been working successfully with PARCEL.ONE for shipping to Poland since 2020, before we took over the entire European shipping network. By connecting with a modern Polish carrier such as InPost, the preferences and cultural characteristics of Polish customers were taken into account, making Poland the largest growth market for the sportswear brand. This positive experience led us to take over shipping to other European countries as well. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Innovative solutions for e-commerce<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Successful e-commerce companies need to be flexible, especially when it comes to shipping. New problems and challenges require continuous adaptation. For example, we were able to integrate new carriers in France and Italy to support our customer\u2019s growth. As a small, agile logistics company, such tasks are a matter of course for us. Our focus is on flexibility and customisation.<\/p>\n<p>OCEANSAPART started out as a D2C online shop and has recently opened up to selling on marketplaces. However, these have special requirements. Retailers must fulfil strict requirements in order to be able to offer their goods here. These can be very strict, especially when it comes to shipping. The delivery time may be up to five days and the returns times are also precisely regulated with a maximum of eight days. <br \/>In the event of a return, the money must be refunded to the customer\u2019s account within this time. However, this process is lengthy, especially if the goods were delivered abroad.<\/p>\n<p>We have therefore developed the returns concept in such a way that the returned goods are checked in the respective country, scanned and sent to OCEANSAPART \u2018without\u2019 being physically present.<\/p>\n<p>This allows the retailer to decide quickly whether the goods are to be returned and the money can be refunded to the customer\u2019s account quickly. This process takes just two days.<\/p>\n<p>Another advantage is that the goods are consolidated and not sent back individually. This not only saves costs, but is also good for the environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3><strong>Finding innovative solutions together<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Our collaboration with OCEANSAPART shows that we are happy to adapt to a wide variety of circumstances and are always looking for customised solutions. This flexibility and commitment are unique in the logistics sector. Smaller service providers have such advantages and can therefore stand out from the big players. Especially when it comes to shipping, this quick adaptability and \u2018out of the box\u2019 thinking.<\/p>\n<p>But in the end, deliveries still have to be made &#8211; in the truest sense of the word. In the winter season, shipment volumes of over 10,000 consignments per day were processed on the same day, which impressively demonstrates the company\u2019s efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The big logistics companies are sometimes panes of glass, they don\u2019t adapt,\u2019 says Micha Augstein, (CEO PARCEL.ONE).<br \/>We offer a dynamic service that responds to individual requirements and develop flexible products that ultimately remain affordable. \u2018Everything has to be simple. One labelling standard, one contact person for all questions and one invoice at the end. <\/p>\n<p><strong>That is the ONE principle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Download the full s<strong>uccess story with Oceansapart<\/strong> as PDF here \u2192<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/parcel.one\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Success-Story_OCEANSAPART_2024_2_ENG.pdf\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\n    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h1>\n<p>The PARCEL.ONE <strong>carrier-setup <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>for OCEANSAPART<\/p>\n<\/h1>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Carrier-Setup-OAP_Zeichenflaeche-1.png\" alt=\"\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/banner_blau_Zeichenflaeche-1.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: white;\">The story of OCEANSAPART began in 2017 and within a short space of time, the retailer has established itself as a fast-growing and innovative activewear brand.

New problems and challenges require continuous adaptation. For example, we were able to integrate new carriers in France and Italy to support our customer\\u2019s growth.

Our focus is on flexibility and customisation.<\\\/p>\\n\n\n<p>OCEANSAPART started out as a D2C online shop and has recently opened up to selling on marketplaces.

The delivery time may be up to five days and the returns times are also precisely regulated with a maximum of eight days. <br \\\/>In the event of a return, the money must be refunded to the customer\\u2019s account within this time. However, this process is lengthy, especially if the goods were delivered abroad.<\\\/p>\\n\n\n<p>We have therefore developed the returns concept in such a way that the returned goods are checked in the respective country, scanned and sent to OCEANSAPART \\u2018without\\u2019 being physically present.<\\\/p>\\n\n\n<p>This allows the retailer to decide quickly whether the goods are to be returned and the money can be refunded to the customer\\u2019s account quickly.
