Russian delivery company Pony Express has launched a new summertime savings campaign for customers and signed up Kazakhstan’s major e-retailer KupiVip Group.
As part of its new campaign “Summer – time to save on freight”, Pony Express is offering customers who haven’t yet used its Express Freight service a 20% price reduction on their express shipments weighing 21-50 kg between 1 July and 31 August.
Customers can send their discounted shipments via the company’s 60 branches across Russia to over 15,000 destinations all over the world. If a customer ships 10 or more shipments as part of the campaign, he/she will be able to profit from the 20% discount on the Express Freight service for three more months after 31 August 2015.
Inna Romanyoli, Commercial Director at Pony Express, said: “Pony Express has optimised its operating platform for the delivery of goods. Today we deliver cargo shipments across Russia at a minimal transit time. I am confident that customers using the special offer will be satisfied with the value for money and service quality of our company and will continue using the Express Freight option even after the campaign expires.”
Meanwhile, Pony Express has signed an agreement with Kazakhstan’s major fashion e-retailer KupiVip Group as part of which it will provide express deliveries from the online shop all over Kazakhstan. In the initial stage, deliveries will be made to the cities of Almaty, Semey, Kokshetau, Taraz and Petropavlovsk. In the long term, other destinations are due to be added.
The delivery time from the KupiVip.kz internet store to customer’s home or office will take up to three days in Almaty from the moment the goods are loaded for delivery from KupiVip Group’s warehouse.
Evgeny Zabiyakin, CEO of Pony Express in Kazakhstan, said: "We are actively developing our new versatile product portfolio for online retailers based on our effective express delivery platform. In addition to it, Pony Express offers its customers other convenient options such as delivery in the evenings and during weekends, the possibility of partial refund and sales representative services. We are grateful to KupiVip Group for choosing Pony Express as its logistics service provider in Kazakhstan, and we are confident of the long-term and mutually beneficial cooperation."
Yuliya Zemlihanova, Director of KupiVip’s Kazakhstan office, said: "Our key advantage still remains the price of goods. We are looking for fancy stuff with huge discounts around the world and sell them online KupiVip.kz in short-term stock-sales. However, we do our best to improve the service and make shopping on KupiVip.kz not only profitable, but also convenient for our customers. Geographical expansion, reducing delivery times and the cost of delivery for the customer – these are the first steps. Thanks to the integrated logistics solutions of Pony Express, purchases on Kupivip.kz will be even more convenient for our customers."
