Aldi to introduce one major change to nearly 300 stores

Aldi is expanding its partnership with InPost by adding more lockers to hundreds of its stores. These lockers are designed for both dispatch and receipt of parcels, serving customers who shop on platforms like eBay, Vinted, and Amazon. After a successful trial in December 2023 at 22 stores, Aldi has decided to increase the number to 260 stores across the UK.

Using an InPost locker typically costs from £2.85, excluding VAT, and with round-the-clock access, customers can pick up their parcels whenever it's convenient for them. Shoppers can check for the availability of such lockers before going to their store here.

Speaking about the initiative, Aldi UK's Communications Director, Richard Thornton, commented: "Our customers value convenience, which is why we're expanding the availability of InPost lockers across more Aldi stores. By adding lockers at more locations nationwide, customers can now collect or return parcels seamlessly while picking up their shopping at Aldi."

Echoing Thornton's remarks, Neil Kuschel, CEO of InPost UK, expressed: "Our partnership with Aldi to expand the number of lockers nationwide reflects our shared commitment to providing quick, easy and accessible parcel collection and returns for shoppers across the UK."

"By installing additional InPost Lockers outside Aldi stores, we're offering customers the freedom to pick up and drop off parcels at their convenience, without the need to rely on store opening hours or wait in queues. We're excited to see how this collaboration will enhance the shopping experience, reduce the cost and continue to meet the growing consumer demand for secure, sustainable, and seamless parcel solutions."
