“Online commerce remains the growth driver in the parcel delivery business. Online stores have increased their contribution to our revenue to 35% to 40%. People are ordering more and more home appliances, from TV sets to fridges. We’ve also had trucks loaded with winter tires, which shows more and more people are buying off the Internet,” Adrian Mihai, one of the company founders and owners, told ZF.

FAN Courier has contracts with the largest retailers in Romania and Black Friday came with a higher volume of parcels to be delivered, 50% higher than during a regular period, he added.
