InPost inks pan-European Vinted shipping partner deal
InPost has signed a five-year partnership agreement with Vinted, an online consumer-to-consumer marketplace dedicated to second hand fashion.
As a result, it will become one of Vinted’s shipping partners across Europe.
The service will be provided under the InPost brand in the UK, Poland and Italy, and Mondial Relay in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain.
The agreement will leverage InPost’s network of 35,000 out-of-home delivery sites across Europe.
In the UK, the partnership means that Vinted sellers can drop off parcels at one of over 3,000 lockers units across the country for onward delivery to buyers’ homes.
“This is our first pan-European delivery partnership, involving all eight markets where we’re present, and we’re confident that this is just the beginning,” says InPost CEO, Rafał Brzoska.
“Our agreement with Vinted proves that InPost has the scale and the skills to be a strategic out-of-home delivery partner for companies operating in markets across Europe, with a particular focus on out-of-home services. We are happy to be part of Vinted’s shipping solution.”
Vytautas Atkočaitis, Shipping Director at Vinted, comments: “As a business focused on giving our members great choices about how to send and receive packages, with a particular focus on PUDO and locker options, we’re pleased to continue our successful partnership with InPost and Mondial Relay in multiple markets in Europe.”
The partnership will vary by market. For example, in Poland Vinted buyers will also be able to receive purchases from lockers.
