About Relay In the future, almost everything we consume will simply materialise on our doorsteps – what we call "e-commerce" today will simply be "commerce" tomorrow.

But if we continue on today's trajectory, the growth of e-commerce risks damaging the environment, alienating our communities, and straining the bottom-line for small businesses.

Relay is an e-commerce-native logistics network.

We are built from the ground up for environmental, social, and economic sustainability.

By building from the ground up we are able to entirely rethink both the middle and last mile enabling us to reduce the number of miles driven to deliver each parcel, lower carbon emissions, and lower costs, all while channelling funds to community members.

At the same time, we're fixing the last broken aspect of e-commerce for consumers: delivery.

As shoppers, we should have complete control over when and how we receive our purchases, and we should be able to return unwanted items as easily as we ordered them.

That's why whenever you buy from a merchant powered by Relay, you'll be able to reschedule your delivery at any time.

And if you don't like what you ordered, at the tap of a button we'll send someone to pick it up.

To orchestrate this complex ballet, Relay relies on a wide range of technologies, from advanced routing and planning to sophisticated user experiences that guide our team members on the ground.
