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. Thanks to our rapidly growing network of parcel lockers and pick up, drop off (PUDO) points, millions of consumers can now choose anytime, anywhere delivery options.

To capitalise on the rising demand for innovative OOH delivery services, get in touch with InPost here to provide a seamless and convenient parcel collection solution that meets the evolving needs of your customers.
