Austrian postal service tests delivery option where parcels are placed inside customers' homes
The Austrian postal service is testing in-home delivery, where parcels are placed inside the recipient's front door if they are out, on hundreds of volunteers. With the help of an app, the cohort can give postal workers permission to open an electronic lock on their doors place their item in an agreed location. Christoph Heimel is one of the volunteers taking part in the scheme. "Since I order quite a lot of parcels such a smooth delivery where I don't have to be at home is extremely cool for me and I was immediately willing to participate and signed up straight away," he said.
