InPost hits 6,000 parcel locker market in the UK amid strong demand for out of home delivery options

InPost has deployed its 6,000th parcel locker in the UK at the Sainsbury’s Chiswick Superstore, London.

In Q3 2023, parcel volumes across InPost’s UK network rose to 13.4 million, a 128% increase from the same period in 2022.

The business has continued to expand the reach of its network, with 51% of residents in the UK’s core cities now living within a seven minute walk of an InPost OOH point.

This means consumers can collect, return and send their parcels at locations such as train stations, petrol forecourts and supermarkets 24/7.

In July, InPost acquired a minority stake in logistics company Menzies Distribution to help its parcel locker service scale at speed, providing deliveries for over 360 days a year.

More recently, it launched ‘InPost Shop’, a parcel pick-up service for Vinted customers, which complements its parcel locker network, as demand for OOH options among 18–30-year-olds rises.

Michael Rouse, CEO at InPost International, says: “I am delighted to announce such a major milestone for InPost UK. The scale of demand for our services across the country has been incredible, and we work tirelessly to innovate and expand our offering to meet this every day.”

“Consumers are increasingly turning to us for fast, secure and convenient delivery and returns options, while retailers are reaping the benefits of our services as they look for cost-efficiencies in a challenging economic environment.”

“For landlords that partner with us, we turn empty space into footfall and revenue drivers, as well as attracting a new and often younger demographic of customers.”
