Ship & Go

Ship & Go (stylised SHIP & GO) is a Romanian self-service package delivery service operated by the courier company Cargus. It functions as a nationwide network of partner locations — shops, lockers and other pickup points — where customers can send and receive parcels without waiting for a courier at home. According to Cargus, the network comprises over 2,000 partners across the country, and the service is integrated into the Cargus Mobile App and the MyCargus customer account, allowing users to find nearby points, redirect shipments, pay and arrange returns. The service is positioned as an accessible, low-cost option for small and medium parcels. Cargus advertises sending small and medium parcels via Ship & Go for 11.5 LEI, and describes a dedicated "Nearby delivery at Ship & Go" service for shipments up to 15 kg delivered to Ship & Go centres in Romania. For businesses, Ship & Go points are presented as a way for online shops to offer customers nearby pickup, alongside lockers, with Cargus claiming more than 2,100 Ship & Go points and coverage of over 13,000 localities. Ship & Go is not a standalone company but a product brand within Cargus, one of Romania's major courier operators. Cargus has been active since 1991 and today describes itself as having over 3,000 employees and partners, around 2,500 couriers, five national sorting centres, two gateway warehouses and 36 deposits, with operations in Romania and Poland and an international expansion strategy touching the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Germany, Bulgaria and Greece. Ship & Go forms part of Cargus's "universe of delivery solutions" alongside the Cargus Mobile App and online payment options. The brand's core value proposition is convenience and reach: customers can collect or send parcels at a nearby partner point even when a courier cannot reach their home, and can manage returns easily through the app or web account. For merchants, it is a fulfilment and last-mile option that complements address delivery, pallet services and international express services offered under the Cargus umbrella.

Ship & Go is a service brand created within Cargus, one of Romania's longest-established courier companies. Cargus traces its activity back to 1991, when it began connecting Romania through courier and delivery services. Over more than three decades the company grew into a national operator with sorting hubs, cross-dock facilities, warehouses, delivery points and thousands of couriers, and it expanded internationally with a presence in Romania and Poland and an expansion strategy covering the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Germany, Bulgaria and Greece. As e-commerce grew in Romania, Cargus developed a set of digital and physical delivery solutions aimed at end customers. These included the Cargus Mobile App, online payment solutions and the Cargus Ship & Go network. Ship & Go was conceived as a network of partner locations — shops and other points — where customers could send and receive parcels when a courier could not reach them at home, and where online shoppers could pick up orders nearby. The network was designed to complement traditional address delivery rather than replace it. By the time of Cargus's current public communications, the Ship & Go network had reached over 2,000 partners nationwide, with Cargus citing more than 2,100 Ship & Go points and coverage of over 13,000 localities. The service was integrated into the Cargus Mobile App and the MyCargus account, enabling customers to locate points, redirect shipments, pay and arrange returns. Cargus also introduced a dedicated "Nearby delivery at Ship & Go" service for shipments up to 15 kg, and advertised sending small and medium parcels via Ship & Go for 11.5 LEI. Cargus itself entered the portfolio of Mid Europa Partners, a private equity investor, according to the company's own account of its history. Ship & Go remains an active part of Cargus's delivery offering, positioned alongside address delivery, pallet services, international express and fulfilment services for businesses.
