BluGate broadens delivery options

Singapore startup Blu has introduced BluGate, a service that offers online shoppers more flexibility with deliveries.

It has a network of 49 BluPort Parcel Terminals where shoppers can opt to pick up their purchases. These are situated in shopping malls, office buildings, Cheers convenience stores and Esso petrol stations.

To use the service, shoppers sign up online for a BluGate account and buy BluTokens, available on demand or by plan. This gives them access to a virtual shipping address, corresponding to the parcel terminals.
