Co-op’s parcel locker partnership with InPost is 'picking-up’ pace this year with a threefold increase in its parcel lockers located at the convenience retailer’s stores.

InPost Lockers will be available at over 150 Co-op stores by the end of 2024 – providing parcel collection and return services and offering a convenient out of home (OOH) alternative to parcel deliveries being made to home.

Locker use is continuing to grow in popularity, and more than half of UK consumers are now using delivery lockers for online purchases. With Co-op stores located at the heart of local communities, the growth of the InPost partnership will provide added ease and convenience to meet the community’s needs.

“InPost Lockers can help residents and time-pressed shoppers in our communities pick up or return parcels at a time that is convenient to them, on their way to or from work or when they pop out to pick up their groceries, quickly, easily and conveniently,” said Chris Conway, Co-op ecommerce director.

“By expanding our network to over 150 Co-op stores during 2024, we're not just offering convenience but also redefining accessibility. Last year alone, the number of parcels we handled doubled to 46.5 million proving that UK consumers love the locker experience,” said Neil Kuschel, InPost UK CEO.

Owned by millions of UK consumers, the Co-op operates almost 2,400 food stores, over 800 funeral homes and provides products to over 6,000 other stores
