In an initial 12-week trial, InPost parcel lockers will be available outside 22 Aldi stores all over the country.
Richard Thornton, Aldi’s communications director, said: “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, chief executive at InPost International, added: “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.”
According to the most-recent ACS Local Shop Report, 21% of convenience stores offer a parcel collection point, either in the form of lockers or an in-store facility.
