InPost | Why parcel lockers are delivery magic

From sending gifts to returning unwanted items to retailers – lockers make delivery and postal services a breeze.

A fabulous array of your fave brands are already using our lockers, including schuh, PrettyLittleThing, New Look, Boohoo, JD Sports and Gymshark.

So how do they work and where can you find one? We’ve got you covered.

InPost has a network of 7,500+ parcel lockers, located at convenient spots around the UK. You’ll find them at places like your nearest supermarket, convenience store or train station.

What’s more, parcel lockers are mostly available 24/7 and using them is quick and easy. It just takes seconds.

Return your parcels

We get it. Sometimes it just doesn’t look like it does in the picture, right?

Sending back your online purchases using lockers makes everyone’s least favourite part of shopping the easiest.

Just head to our returns portal, or check out your retailer’s website, and we’ll take it from there. The best part? You don’t even need to print out a returns label. We’ll send a QR code directly to your mobile; all you need to do is scan it at the locker and drop your parcel into a compartment.

Send a parcel

It’s true. You don’t need to spend your lunch break queuing in a line to send a parcel any more. You can now do this at the station on your way into work, when you’re off to the gym, or when you’re picking up the weekly food shop.

Collect a parcel

Our couriers will drop your parcel off at your chosen locker, and you’ll get a text and an email with a QR code. When you’re ready to pick up your package, head over to the locker and scan the QR code from your phone. The relevant locker door will pop open, and you’re good to go!

Easy, fast and cheap delivery

Simply head to the InPost website and kick things off by entering the postcode for your parcel’s delivery address. Pay for your postage online and drop your parcel off at any of our lockers. Our tracking service means you’ll know where your parcel is and when it’s been delivered. It’s that easy.
