"It is believed that up to 300 jobs are at risk, and the staff were notified yesterday evening. In a statement yesterday, a spokesperson for the Nuvion Group said that delays and disruption is "envisaged", and that the receivers will work with retailers to "minimise such delays". Inflation, rising operating costs and price pressures across the parcel market have made the business "no longer viable", a spokesperson added."
"Due to expected delays, the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) has reminded businesses and consumers that when a consumer orders something for delivery, their contract is with the retailer and not the courier. In a statement, a spokesperson for the CCPC has advised that goods are the responsibility of the retailer until the buyer takes physical possession of the delivery."
The Nuvion Group, which includes Fastway Couriers Ireland, Parcel Connect and Nügo, went into receivership. Up to 300 jobs are at risk and staff were notified yesterday evening. Receivers expect delays and will work with retailers to minimise disruption. Inflation, rising operating costs and price pressures across the parcel market made the business no longer viable. The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission reminded that consumer delivery contracts are with retailers, who remain responsible for goods until the buyer takes physical possession. Orders should be delivered within 30 days unless agreed otherwise; consumers can cancel for non-delivery and receive a full refund with the retailer refunding within 14 days. Exceptions apply where a consumer independently engages a courier. Supports are available to affected workers and contractors.
