Uber for parcels: Relay raises $10M in the UK

🚗 The problem: In Europe, roads are inefficient and affect delivery time. Having large sorting centers also makes the whole thing more expensive.
📦️ Meet Relay: Instead of big sorting centers, Relay uses pit stops and couriers to save costs. They also find the right couriers for each route and put all the deliveries and returns together in one trip. It’s similar to what Asia does, but is something that Europe lacks. They already attracted retailers like JD Sports and THG.
