172 million stops in mail and parcel transport
Delivery vans in postal and parcel transport made 172 million stops in 2018. Parcel carriers in particular stopped frequently: 38 times a day on average. Two thirds of these involved private addresses, while the proportion was 30 per cent for business addresses and 5 per cent for collection points. At a private address, one parcel is usually delivered per stop, at a business address or pick-up point several parcels at once.
