Aldi has announced it is trialling the use of parcel lockers outside a selection of its UK stores via a partnership with InPost.
Throughout March, InPost lockers will be available outside 22 Aldi stores across the UK, allowing customers to collect and return online orders from other retailers, the supermarket said. The trial will conclude after a 12-week period, with the aim to roll it out to more stores if successful.
Richard Thornton, Communications Director at Aldi UK, said: “We are all about making things efficient for our customers, and the installation of InPost lockers will make shopping at Aldi even more convenient. People can collect or return parcels while they are doing their shopping, with the lockers accessible with a QR code. If the trial is successful, this will hopefully be something available to lots more of our shoppers later this year.”
Michael Rouse, CEO at InPost International, added: “In this case, Aldi customers can now pick up and drop off their parcels with ease and efficiency while doing the weekly shop. We look forward to seeing the results from the trial and the start of a successful partnership.”
