InPost reaches target of 3,000 UK parcel lockers by end of 2021

Ecommerce delivery company InPost has announced its latest international growth milestone, having deployed over 3,000 locker units in the UK.

This follows InPost's 2021 partnerships, with businesses including Transport for London, Tesco and Westfield. Along with supporting over 100 major retailers such as Missguided, Boohoo and JD Sports.

The delivery company now has approximately 150,000 individual locker compartments available for consumers to send, collect and return parcels.

Emphasised by InPost, the announcement marks a critical step for the company and its mission to provide communities with convenient, accessible and greener delivery options. Parcel lockers offer consumers a quick and convenient way to collect and return items, while also impacting the number of last mile deliveries on UK streets, helping to reduce carbon emissions.

Jason Tavaria, CEO of InPost UK, said: “This year alone we have installed nearly two thousand parcel lockers across the UK, responding to growing interest from retailers and landlords looking to bolster their environmental performance.

"Lifestyles and shopping habits have irrevocably changed during the pandemic and our rapid growth reflects this shift. Consumers demand convenient options that fit around their new working routines, as well as those that prioritise sustainability. Retailers, landlords and consumers alike must work together to encourage more people towards greener delivery services like lockers. We are proud to be leading the charge.”

InPost parcel lockers are available 24/7 and located across the UK, in locations such as train stations, supermarkets and petrol forecourts. The company highlights it is on track to deploy one of the largest automated parcel networks in the UK, with over 10,000 locker units in operation by 2024.

This news also follows InPost's recent campaign with Shelter, offering free deliveries for donations this Christmas.
