Exploring New Frontiers, Navigating the Evolving Digital Landscape is about how the postal, parcel and logistics industry, as a business ecosystem, is evolving in response to the many challenges and opportunities it faces. Entering the 2020s the world is facing many global challenges. Some are unexpected and unplanned, such as the coronavirus pandemic, others like climate change and environmental sustainability are not new or unexpected but are increasingly becoming recognised more clearly and the need for collective global action felt more acutely.
Against this backdrop, huge technological advances have continued apace, fuelling the digital revolution so that most people are ‘always online’, along with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, autonomous solutions, and many other new technological explorations. This digital revolution has accelerated again because of the various measures imposed to combat the global pandemic.
One strong outcome of the pandemic has been to reinforce the value of the postal sector as an essential service provider, widely valued and appreciated for being able to maintain delivery services for letters and many more parcels – at continuous peak levels – as well as essential medical, vaccine and pharmaceutical supplies, financial services, groceries, and social care.
Industry thought leaders from around the world give their accounts of what is happening on different ‘frontiers’ of this vast global sector, sharing their insights, ideas and experiences. The book is designed for readers to dip into topics they are interested in and then use the questions raised to stimulate further thought and discussion. The book is divided into main sections reflecting three broad categories: Exploring New Directions and Evolving Technologies; Navigating the New Digital Landscape and Exploring New Frontiers of Business Sustainability

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
