How click & collect is changing the game

Let’s talk about why more and more people are converting to out-of-home delivery – whether it’s using parcel lockers or in-store pick-ups.

Here are our favourite reasons why people are choosing to use click & collect over home delivery. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out, so grab a coffee, sit back, and let’s dive into why click & collect is a game changer and ultimately why you should give InPost delivery a go.  

 

No more waiting around ⏲ 

Remember those days when you had to stay home all day because your package was "out for delivery"? Yeah, not fun. With parcel lockers, those days are over. You can get your stuff delivered to a locker near your office, a convenience store, or even a locker near your gym. This means you can pick it up whenever and wherever it suits you. No more rearranging your schedule around extremely vague delivery window, see ya later 7am – 7pm slots! 

 

Ultimate flexibility ✅ 

Maybe you live in an apartment where packages tend to disappear, or perhaps your work hours are so crazy that you’re never home to receive deliveries. InPost Lockers and Shops offer flexibility that traditional delivery can’t match. Most of our lockers are open 24/7, so you can collect your package at whatever time of the day suits you. It’s all about making life easier for you. Just make sure you pick up your parcel within 3 days of delivery! 

 

Eco-friendly vibes 💚 

Who doesn’t love doing a little something for the planet? Click and collect can be more eco-friendly because it reduces the number of individual delivery trips. Instead of a delivery van making ten separate stops in your neighbourhood, it can drop off multiple packages at one point. Fewer trips mean less fuel consumption and lower carbon emissions. It’s a win-win! We are committed to doing our bit in the Climate Crisis so join us in shaping our future. 

 

Secure and safe 🔐 

Porch pirates are a real thing. Having your packages delivered to a secure locker or a shop means no more worrying about someone swiping your latest online shopping spree from your doorstep. Our pick-up locations are designed to keep your goodies safe and sound until you’re ready to grab them. 

 

Support your local 🛒 

Using your local pick-up points at your neighbourhood grocery store, laundrette, or convenience shop helps support your local businesses. Why not pop to the shop after you’ve dropped off your parcels? 

 

The fun factor ✨ 

Let’s be real, when you’re picking up your parcels or use the remote opening feature (in our app), it’s super fun. When that door unlocks and magically opens to reveal your latest purchase it really is a glorious feeling. Plus, we love those moments between scanning your return code and the door pops open – have you tried guessing which door it will be? 

 

How to use InPost 

1. Choose InPost delivery 

When you’re shopping online, choose "click & collect" delivery at the checkout and find a locker or shop that works for you, whether it's by your home or next to where you pick up your groceries. 

 

2. Pop to your chosen point 

When your parcel arrives, we’ll send you a notification to let you know when it’s delivery day. Scan the QR code we send you at the locker or open the door remotely in our app (which is super fun btw). If you're using a shop just show your QR code to a staff member. You can also check your parcel’s whereabouts on our website. 

 

3. Skip off into the sunset 

You and your parcel can be together, at last. We hope you love it, if not you can always check out our super simple returns service. 

 

Click & collecting to lockers and shops is reshaping how we receive our online orders.  Next time you’re checking out online, give it a try. Your future self will thank you. 📦 

Happy online shopping, and here’s to making life just a little bit easier, one delivery at a time! 🚚
