Supermarket chain Aldi has increased the number InPost lockers outside its UK stores, with lockers now available to customers for parcel collection and returns at 260 stores across the country.
First trialed in December 2023 and rolled out to 22 stores across the UK in March 2024, the lockers have received positive feedback from customers.
Richard Thornton, communications director at Aldi UK, confirmed, “Our customers value convenience, which is why we’re expanding the availability of InPost lockers across more Aldi stores.
“By adding lockers at more locations nationwide, customers can now collect or return parcels seamlessly while picking up their shopping at Aldi.
Neil Kuschel, CEO at InPost UK, added, “Our partnership with Aldi to expand the number of lockers nationwide reflects our shared commitment to providing quick, easy and accessible parcel collection and returns for shoppers across the UK.
“By installing additional InPost lockers outside Aldi stores, we’re offering customers the freedom to pick up and drop off parcels at their convenience, without the need to rely on store opening hours or wait in queues.
“We’re excited to see how this collaboration will enhance the shopping experience, reduce the cost and continue to meet the growing consumer demand for secure, sustainable and seamless parcel solutions.”
The announcement comes as InPost revealed plans to spend an additional £600m (US$723m) to expand its UK parcel locker network and logistics facilities over the next four years, taking its total investment in the country to £1bn (US$1.2bn) by 2029.
