Get summer ready with InPost

As the days grow longer and warmer, and (most importantly) the pub gardens start calling, we’re all gearing up for the joys of summer. Whether it's beach trips, holidays, outdoor adventures, or simply enjoying the sunshine. Let’s make the most of long days.  And the best part about the longer hours is you can pick up your parcels in the daylight at any point of the day, woohoo! Everyone wants a pre-work treat, right? 

How to use InPost this summer 

  1. Online shopping ease: Summer often calls for shopping for new swimwear, outdoor gear, or vacation essentials. With InPost Lockers and Shops, you can shop online and have your parcels delivered directly to a nearby locker or shop. No need to wait at home for deliveries. 

  2. Super quick returns: Sometimes summer shopping means trying out multiple sizes or styles. InPost Lockers and Shops simplify the return process by allowing you to drop off your returns at a nearby locker or shop when is works for you. Simply scan, tap and away you go. No queues, no stress. 

  3. Send your Vinted Parcels: If you’re a big Vinted fan (we are too), you can use any of our lockers and shops to send off your Vinted parcels. Take a look at our dedicated help page
