The Locker Lowdown | Edition 01

I've been spending a lot of time getting to know the parcel locker and out-of-home delivery industry recently, and there's certainly plenty happening!

So I thought I'd start sharing a weekly roundup of interesting developments across the UK, Europe and US.

Here's what's caught my attention recently. 👇

🇬🇧 UK | Royal Mail agrees to acquire Quadient's locker network

Royal Mail's parent company has agreed to acquire Quadient's UK parcel locker network for €65 million.

The deal covers approximately 3,000 lockers and represents another significant development in the UK's growing out-of-home delivery market.

🇬🇧 UK | YEEP! reaches 4,000 lockers

YEEP! has announced that its UK network has reached 4,000 lockers, with further expansion planned.

The company is also introducing updated touchscreen locker technology.

🇪🇺 Europe | DHL and myflexbox expand their collaboration

Germany's DeinFach and Austria's myflexbox are bringing their open locker networks together under the myflexbox brand.

The wider network has ambitious plans for automated parcel collection infrastructure across Germany.

🇺🇸 USA | Amazon expands its campus locker network

Amazon's parcel locker network now includes more than 750 locations across over 500 US college campuses.

Another example of how out-of-home delivery is becoming part of everyday life.

That's the first Locker Lowdown!

I'll be sharing a short roundup every Friday, following the businesses, partnerships and developments shaping this industry.

If you work in parcel lockers, logistics or last-mile delivery, I'd love to connect and hear what's happening in your part of the market.

And if I've missed anything interesting, please let me know!

Have a top weekend,

Linzi

Feeling Ambitious

Keeping an eye on the people, businesses and developments shaping parcel delivery.
