We've launched our own Parcel Lockers to meet the growing demand for more parcel points from online shoppers and marketplace sellers. The first 250 lockers which can be used exclusively by Royal Mail customers will be rolled out in early 2025, with the first now live outside our historic Mount Pleasant Mail Centre in London. The lockers will provide 24/7 access in convenient, high footfall locations, which will include spaces outside of our Delivery Offices plus third-party retailers. The launch of our own lockers is the first time we're providing access to dedicated lockers available only for our customers, which will improve capacity and customer service as well as enabling greater control over where they’re rolled out. Through partnerships, our customers can drop off parcels at 1,000 shared lockers and more than 5,000 Collect+ convenience stores.

By now, most of us have likely made at least one online purchase and many of us have experienced the convenience of picking up items from a parcel locker. 📦 The effectiveness of this convenience heavily relies on the placement of these lockers. But how can parcel locker service providers use location data to strategically place them to maximise ROI and attract more businesses to use their services?

Hello YARDers! We are pleased to inform you that we are doing well and that the YARD Delivery service is successfully operating. We are currently in the process of  integration and concluding partnerships with various online stores. From now on, our customers will be able to order delivery not only to the parcel locker, but also personally to their hands. No more need to go to the parcel locker, because the courier will deliver your order directly to your home or office! Trade market trends say that: - 56% online consumers between the age of 18-34 years expect to have same day delivery. Whereas 61% consumers are willing to pay more for the same-day delivery - 49% of shoppers say that same-day delivery makes them more likely to shop online - 96% of customers consider “fast delivery” to mean same-day delivery - 80% of shoppers surveyed want same-day shipping, while 61% want their packages even faster — within 1-3 hours of placing an order. - More than 25% of shoppers would abandon a cart online if same-day shipping wasn’t available We always strive to improve ourselves in order to meet the needs of our customers and provide them with the best level of service.

Parcel lockers offer CEP companies a promising solution for reducing Last Mile delivery costs, though the initial investment is high. While doorstep delivery may be cheaper at first, lockers provide long-term savings, flexibility, and 24/7 convenience for customers. However, a successful locker network requires strategic planning, consumer adoption, and commitment to a long-term approach. Despite complexity and costs, lockers can enhance sustainability and operational efficiency in the Last Mile.

How much do you know about transport and logistics? 🌐 Today, we want to test your knowledge with a key term! 🤩 📦LOCKER 📦 Are you familiar with it? We'll explain it to you! In the world of deliveries, lockers are strategically located in residential communities, office buildings or public places such as metro stations and supermarkets. They are designed to let customers drop off and collect parcels efficiently. Without having to deal with a person, the recipient enters a code and voilà!, their locker opens to collect or deposit a parcel. The delivery person previously left the parcel there if it was a delivery, or will pick it up if it's a return. Why do we love them? 👇 ✅ They avoid missed deliveries.  ✅ Safer deliveries. ✅ Speed and convenience for the user. ✅ Option to select the desired locker if the store offers this service. This trend is booming and is perfectly suited to the needs of today's customer. Have you ever used a locker to collect or return a parcel?

What stops an entrepreneur from setting up a network of dark stores that can serve all these qcommerce players? Do supply-side optimisation, achieve efficiency in warehouse management, reduce real estate costs (for these players)… kind of D-mart but for qcommerce?
