InPost has announced that it will begin a trial with the Aldi supermarket chain to trial its parcel lockers outside a selection of UK stores, enabling customers to collect and return online orders.
Throughout March, InPost lockers will be available outside 22 Aldi stores across the country. The trial will last 12 weeks and the lockers will be installed outside more stores if successful.
Richard Thornton, communications director at Aldi UK, said, “We are all about making things efficient for our customers, and the installation of InPost lockers will make shopping at Aldi even more convenient.
“People can collect or return parcels while they are doing their shopping, with the lockers accessible with a QR code. If the trial is successful, this will hopefully be something available to lots more of our shoppers later this year.”
Michael Rouse, CEO at InPost International, added, “We’re on a mission to bring unrivaled parcel convenience to shoppers in the UK, and this trial with Aldi does just that. With over 6,000 parcel lockers in the UK, we offer hassle-free delivery options that easily integrate into shoppers’ daily routines. In this case, Aldi customers can now pick up and drop off their parcels with ease and efficiency while doing the weekly shop. We look forward to seeing the results from the trial and the start of a successful partnership.”
