Metapack, a ShipStation Global® brand and leader in ecommerce delivery management, was selected by Currys, the UK’s leading omnichannel technology and services retailer, to support its delivery operations. The appointment brings Metapack’s intelligent delivery technology directly to millions of Currys’ customers, giving shoppers delivery options at checkout and improved real time visibility on every order.

For a retailer of Currys’ scale, getting it right consistently across millions of orders demands best in class technology. Metapack’s intelligent platform brings unrivalled carrier connectivity with the data intelligence to improve customer experiences, business performance and reduce costs.

Research from Metapack’s 2026 Ecommerce Delivery Benchmark Report reveals that 61% of UK consumers are now willing to pay for premium delivery options such as next day or same day, up from 50% in 2024. Metapack’s platform puts Currys in the best position to offer greater delivery choices.

“We’re pleased to be partnering with Metapack, making it easier than ever before for customers to shop with Currys,” said Simon Boss, Director of Logistics and Home Delivery at Currys. “The technology will help us respond quickly to demand and deliver a more seamless shopping experience for our customers. It’s just one part of our mission to help everyone enjoy amazing technology.”

“We are proud to be chosen by Currys, a British institution and one of the country’s most trusted retail names,” said Mark Honeyben, SVP and Managing Director, Europe at ShipStation Global. “Currys understands what delivery has become: a genuine driver of loyalty, revenue and brand reputation. The retailers leading in this space are those treating every post purchase interaction as an opportunity, not an obligation, and our platform gives Currys the intelligence and scale to do precisely that.”
