In today’s world of online shopping and e-commerce, managing multiple parcels can be a bit of a hassle. But don’t worry, InPost has your back. We have some tips and tricks to help you manage all your parcels comings and goings.  

What’s InPost all about? 

InPost offers a wide range of parcel lockers that are available 24/7. These lockers are conveniently located at places you often visit, like supermarkets, shopping centres, and train stations. The best part? You can send and pick up parcels whenever it suits you, without dealing with post office queues. On top of all our lockers, we have a wide range of InPost Shops scattered around. Some of our lockers get super busy so we’ve introduced shops to help give you as many convenient locations as possible. 

 

Our top tips for sending multiple parcels 

  • Write/draw on your parcels: It’s easy to get caught up in making your package look beautiful, but make sure you remember what you’ve wrapped up! We recommend writing or drawing on them with numbers, letters or symbols to help you remember which package contains each item.  

  • Nickname your parcels in the app: Our latest app feature means you can give your parcels names. This will make it super easy to track where each package is and know exactly which one is which. 

  • Choose the right packaging: Proper packaging makes sure that your parcels arrive safely at their final destinations. 

  • Communicate with your buyers: Keep your buyers (In)posted about when you’re planning to drop off their parcels so they can keep up and be ready to pick up. Once you’ve dropped off at an InPost Locker or Shop we’ll let them know where their parcel is. 

  • Try out our shops: lots of our lockers get super busy so if you’re sending lots of parcels in one go there might not be enough space available but have no fear – InPost Shops to the rescue! We have them here, there and everywhere with lots of capacity.
