Revolutionising Out of Home Delivery with Lockers

Revolutionising Out of Home Delivery with Lockers

Consumer demand for out-of-home (OOH) delivery has skyrocketed and the rise of delivery lockers is revolutionising the way we send and receive parcels. There’s a massive opportunity for retailers to capitalise on this trend, drive shopper footfall and increase their income with InPost Lockers.

Today’s shoppers crave convenience and having a parcel nicked from your doorstep or missing a delivery is anything but. As a result, we’re seeing huge demand for InPost Lockers – one of the quickest, cheapest and most convenient forms of out-of-home delivery.

With their self-service convenience, parcels can be collected by consumers 24/7. Over half of UK consumers are already using them for online purchases, and that rises to 71% for Gen Zs and 68% for MillennialsI. There is nothing more convenient than being able to pick up a parcel when you’re already out and about on a shopping trip – so it’s no big surprise this is the top reason for choosing a lockerII.

While convenience is key, the demand being seen for lockers is also driven by shopper concerns around sustainability. Delivering to a locker means fewer deliveries, which means fewer vans on the road and less CO2 emissions – and 84% of shoppers believe that they offer a greener solutionIII.

Offering InPost Lockers increases footfall and drives incremental sales, as customers using them often make additional purchases when visiting a storeIV. Not to mention the guaranteed rent we pay landlords, providing an additional income stream. With installation costs covered and minimal space requirements, hosting an InPost Locker can really set a business apart from the competition.

Through our InPost parcel lockers, we offer a low-cost way for consumers to collect, send and return parcels quickly and with ease. We have the largest locker network in the UK, with over 8,000 parcel lockers nationwideV.
