The Locker Lowdown | Edition 02
Updated: 3 days ago
Another busy week in the world of parcel lockers and out-of-home delivery. A few developments caught my eye, including some smaller stories that deserve a bit more attention.
🇬🇧 UK | Evri takes lockers into charity retail
Evri and Scope have opened what they describe as the UK's first in-store parcel locker in a charity shop, in Doncaster.
The locker allows customers to send and return parcels while visiting the shop, and creates another income stream for Scope.
An interesting example of how locker locations are moving beyond the traditional supermarket and petrol station sites.
🇩🇪 Germany | ALDI Nord partners with myflexbox
myflexbox has announced a partnership with ALDI Nord, with three locker locations already operating and more planned.
The lockers are carrier-neutral, meaning multiple delivery companies can use the same infrastructure.
It's another example of retailers making parcel collection and returns part of an everyday shopping trip.
🇵🇱 Poland | InPost expands through Packeta
InPost is extending its cross-border delivery offering through a partnership with Packeta Group.
Polish online retailers will gain access to more than 14,000 lockers and collection points across Czechia and Slovakia.
Rather than building an entirely new network, partnerships like this offer another route into neighbouring markets.
🇲🇩 Moldova | Nova Post thinks bigger
One of the more unusual stories this week.
Nova Post has opened a dedicated parcel locker facility in Chișinău, containing 624 individual compartments in a single location.
The facility is designed around self-service collection, with plans to introduce additional services later.
It's an interesting alternative to distributing smaller locker banks across numerous sites.
🇪🇺 Europe | Bloq.it looks towards new markets
Parcel locker technology supplier Bloq.it is developing new hardware and software products while considering expansion into additional markets.
Worth watching as operators look beyond simply increasing locker numbers towards improving the technology and services behind their networks.
My takeaway this week
What interests me is the variety of approaches we're seeing. Charity shops, supermarkets, shared networks and large self-service facilities.
There's clearly more than one way to build an out-of-home delivery network.
Have a top weekend!
