Livin’ la vida locker

14,000 lockers

Big news, parcel people. 

We have officially passed 14,000 InPost Lockers in the UK! Our lockers are popping up everywhere. 

Supermarkets. Petrol stations. Retail parks. Train stations. The corner of your commute you walk past every day. 

And if you’ve spotted some lockers recently that look a little bit different… you’re not imagining things. 

Our battery-powered lockers have joined the family and are spreading the locker life even further across the UK. 

Same simple experience. Just with a slightly different screen that you’ll need to tap to wake up before you start. 

But before we get into all that… we’ve got something important to say. 

Thank you. 

Because every parcel collected, every return dropped off, every send made in under 30 seconds has helped us reach this milestone. 

And honestly? We’re just getting started. 

As a special thank you, get 25% off any-sized parcel going to any locker or shop. Use code HACK25 when using our Send Service! T&Cs apply.

14,000th locker

And here it is, our 14,000th locker 🔥 - you can find it at Sainsbury's Hedge End, Southampton.

The locker life is officially thriving 

Once upon a time, parcel deliveries meant: 

  • Waiting in all day 

  • Missing the courier by 3 minutes 

  • Finding a mysterious “sorry we missed you” card 

  • Knocking on three neighbours’ doors to track down your parcel 

Not exactly the dream. 

Now? Thousands of people across the UK are choosing lockers instead - and we get why. 

With 24/7 access and locations across the country, lockers give you something traditional deliveries don’t: control. 

You collect when and where it suits you.  You return when and where it suits you.  You send parcels when and where it suits you. 

No waiting. No rushing. No doorbell drama

Parcel power back to you!

 

Our battery-powered lockers  

As we zoom past 14,000 lockers, you’ll start seeing more of our battery-powered models out in the wild. 

They’re designed to help us install lockers in even more locations, meaning the locker life is about to get even closer to home. 

If you use one for the first time, here’s what to expect: 

  • The screen may look slightly different 

  • You’ll tap the screen to wake it up 

  • After that, it works just like any other locker 

Tap, lock & roll.  Simple. 

 

How to use a locker (if you’re new here) 

If locker life is new to you, welcome. You’re about to discover how easy parcel admin should be. 

Collecting a parcel 

  1. Choose an InPost Locker when checking out online 

  2. Get notified when your parcel arrives 

  3. Head to the locker within 3 days 

  4. Scan your code or open it via the InPost app (once you start remote opening, there's no going back)

  5. Grab your parcel and go 

No queues. No waiting in. No awkward doorstep exchanges. 

 

Sending a parcel 

Sending is easy as pie. 

  1. Buy a digital label online or in the app 

  2. Head to any InPost Locker 

  3. Scan your code 

  4. Pop your parcel in a compartment 

Done. 

Your courier collects it later - and your parcel is on its way. 

 

Returning an item 

Let’s be honest. Online shopping is brilliant… but sometimes the vibe just isn’t right. 

That’s where lockers shine. You can drop off at absolutely any of our lockers of shops, just make sure you check for space.

All our returns are print-free, so you can: 

  • Generate your return code (check your Retailer instructions)

  • Head to a locker - where & when it works for you, almost all of them are 24/7

  • Scan, drop, done 

No printing. No queues. No awkward sprints during lunch breaks. 

 

Security you can rely on 

Life doesn’t run on delivery windows - and neither should your parcels. 

Our lockers are designed to keep items safe until you're ready to collect, with: 

  • Secure compartments 

  • CCTV at most locations 

  • Notification updates 

  • Time-limited collection windows 

We've built our lockers to give all our customers peace of mind. 

 

14,000 lockers… and growing 

This milestone isn’t just a number. 

It means: 

  • More lockers near your home 

  • More on your commute 

  • More near shops you already visit 

  • More late-night collections after the gym, dog walk or takeaway run 

The locker life is becoming the new normal for parcels in the UK - and you’re the reason it’s growing. 

So whether you’re sending, returning or collecting… 

thank you for locking it in with us. 

Here’s to 14,000 lockers - and counting.
