7-Eleven partners with Australia Post for parcels
This will double the number of parcel locker locations throughout Australia that Australia Post customers can use.
Australia Post and 7-Eleven Australia announced a partnership to offer customers more choice where they pick up their parcels, with access to free all-hours parcel lockers at 7-Eleven stores across the country.
This will double the number of parcel locker locations throughout Australia that Australia Post customers can use to more than 1,000, giving them greater choice in how they receive their online shopping and other parcels.
In the 12 months to July 2021 parcel volumes have grown considerably, with Australia Post’s latest Inside Australian Online Shopping eCommerce report revealing online shopping grew almost 32% over the 2020-21 financial year.
“This partnership with 7-Eleven gives our customers greater choice on the most convenient way to collect what they’ve bought, at the times and places that suit them, which is why expanding our locker network into 7-Eleven stores just makes sense,” said Nicole Sheffield, Australia Post Executive General Manager Community & Consumer.
The 24/7 service launches across more than 200 7-Eleven stores where 7-Eleven's ParcelMate lockers are already installed, with another 300 7-Eleven stores to be added for Australia Post deliveries by the end of 2021. This is in addition to more than 500 existing Australia Post parcel locker locations in the network.
