Online auction site eBay & Argos have extended their partnership to offer eBay buyers and sellers a nationwide fulfilment service.
The idea of the service is that sellers can take their items to Argos stores nationwide, where this service will start in around 150 stores before the year is out, and will be in more stores in the new year.
UK vice president of eBay, Tanya Lawler, said: “In 1995, eBay disrupted shopping by creating a commerce platform powered by customers. Our continued success is all about listening and responding to customers’ needs – and we know that they expect ever digital and traditional retail.”
Adding his comment, chief operating office at Argos, David Robinson, said: “The ability for customers to get their purchases quickly, easily and locally has become the new retail battleground. With over 800 stores and a friendly face on every high street, we are ideally placed to attract eBay’s business and consumer customers to use our unique store network. This deal reaffirms and builds on the successful and deepening relationship between our businesses.”
