Hermes, the UK's largest home delivery courier network, has extended the cut-off time for retailers using its next-day delivery service until 9pm.

As a result, retailers will gain added flexibility within their multichannel supply chains and the ability to offer a later order deadline for delivery the following day. The new, later cut-off time will be for parcel traffic entering Hermes' northern and southern hubs that is scheduled for next-day delivery. Using the company's existing nationwide trunking operation, retailers will now be able to send additional volumes up until the 9pm deadline for onward delivery into the Hermes nationwide depot network.

Jon Tobbell, Commercial Director at Hermes commented: "We are continually looking at ways of enhancing our service to retailers to improve the delivery experience to their customers. The later cut-off time is just one of a number of planned service innovations this year that will add real value to our unique delivery proposition."
