Parcel delivery service Uber Connect has started its journey in Dhaka

The Dhaka Times Desk Uber launched the parcel delivery service 'Uber Connect' from last Tuesday for the convenience of customers during the outbreak of the Corona virus.

According to a press release in this regard, all parcels on Uber Connect will be transportable on two-wheelers which must not exceed 5 kg in weight and the cargo will be sealed. No prohibited goods such as alcohol, narcotic drugs and dangerous or illegal items can be shipped in it. This delivery service will only be used for parcel transportation, not for passenger transportation.

Through this service, Dhaka residents can send and receive various items to their loved ones living inside Dhaka from the safety of their homes.

Similar to ridesharing trips, customers can also monitor the progress of the trip from parcel pickup to product transit and delivery. Customers can also share the delivery status of the parcel with the recipient.

এই বিষয়ে বাংলাদেশ ও পূর্ব ভারতের উবার প্রধান রাতুল ঘোষ বলেছেন, ‘এই সঙ্কটপূর্ণ সময়ে সামাজিক দূরত্ব বজায় রেখেই গ্রাহকদের চাহিদা মেটাতে আমরা আমাদের প্ল্যাটফর্মটিকে যেভাবে প্রয়োজনের সঙ্গে সঙ্গে হালনাগাদ করেছি তারই এক উৎকৃষ্ট উদাহরণ হলো উবার কানেক্ট। এটি আমাদের চালকদের নতুন উপার্জনের সুযোগ করে দেওয়ার জন্য চলমান প্রয়াসেরও একটি অংশ হিসেবে আমরা দেখছি।’
