Co-op to triple parcel lockers with InPost

InPost lockers will become available at more than 150 Co-op stores by the end of 2024, tripling that current number of lockers available.

Neil Kuschel, InPost UK CEO, said that, at present, 62% of the population in London, Birmingham and Manchester live just a seven-minute walk from an InPost Locker, and the trend continues to grow momentum.

He added: “We are delighted to announce the acceleration of our partnership with stalwart retailer, Co-op, enhancing our commitment to accessible parcel services. By expanding our network to over 150 Co-op stores during 2024, we’re not just offering convenience but also redefining accessibility. Our mission through our new partnership with Co-op is to continue driving this growth and make locker delivery the ‘go to’ choice for the UK consumer.”

InPost has reported that more than half of UK consumers are now using delivery lockers for online purchases, and that last year alone InPost handled double the number of parcels at 46.5m, ‘proving that UK consumers love the locker experience’.

Chris Conway, Co-op ecommerce director, said: “Our focus is to make things easier and more convenient for our member-owners and customers, and with our stores located conveniently in high streets, transport hubs, university campuses and residential developments, InPost Lockers can help residents and time-pressed shoppers in our communities pick up or return parcels at a time that is convenient to them, on their way to or from work or when they pop out to pick up their groceries, quickly, easily and conveniently.”
