POST and parcel specialist Mail Boxes Etc in Friar Street, Worcester is harnessing bird-power to deliver this autumn.

It is collaborating with Warner Bros film studio in Hollywood, makers of the new hit movie Storks , to help its service take off. Store owner Robert Leverton explained: "For the month of October, all our customers’ packages and parcels will be delivered by Storks, the animated characters from Warner Bros.’ new film. They are now nesting in the windows of our store in the form of life-size character cut-outs. We’re running a prize draw and giving away free movie posters to our customers to celebrate the launch of the movie, Storks.”

Mail Boxes Etc. Worcester specialises in parcel delivery, as do storks, because from the studio that created The Lego© Movie, Storks brings a world where storks no longer just deliver babies. Instead, they deliver packages and when the studio was looking for a retailer to help spread the word about the new film, post and parcel specialist Mail Boxes Etc. fitted the bill.

Mr Leverton added: "We’re so excited to be collaborating with one of the big Hollywood movie studios to promote their main animation adventure release of the year and we’re celebrating with a fabulous prize draw to win a family trip to Barcelona, complete with a helicopter tour for a stork’s-eye view of the city.

“There’s lots of other exciting stuff going on in-store, too. Everyone who sends a parcel with us will get a pack of Storks pairs cards. Customers can also pick up a Storks poster for their kids and take a ‘selfie’ with one of our life-size Storks characters. Storks is going to be huge this autumn and we want to give our customers the chance to join in the fun.”
