InPost, a provider of automated parcel machine services, has collaborated with UK online fashion retailer ASOS to introduce nationwide next-day delivery service to lockers.
This partnership enables ASOS shoppers to opt for next-day delivery to InPost lockers during the checkout process, enhancing shopping experience with increased speed and convenience.
This service is available to all ASOS customers, while ASOS Premier customers can avail at no additional cost.
ASOS delivery solutions director David Flavell was quoted by Post & Parcel as saying: “We know that customers come to ASOS for the latest fashion when they want it. Adding InPost’s extensive network of over 16,000 lockers and parcel shops to our offering, with a next day delivery, gives customers even more choice and convenience in how they get the fashion they love. We’re delighted to have InPost as our exclusive locker partner.”
According to Reuters, the introduction of the D+1 delivery service offers InPost extensive network of parcel lockers and Pick Up Drop Off points across the UK, totalling 12,800 locations.
InPost UK CEO Neil Kuschel said: “This launch is a game changer for out-of-home delivery in the UK. By introducing the first nationwide next-day locker service, we’re setting a new standard for delivery. ASOS is the perfect partner to launch with - a brand that shares our commitment to innovation and putting customers first.”
The partnership comes on the heels of InPost's strategic acquisition of Yodel, a British courier company, last month. This move not only expanded InPost's market share in the UK to 8% but also established it as the third e-commerce logistics carrier in the country.
This acquisition also expedites InPost's expansion within the UK market by five years, Reuters added.
The company projects an increase in annual parcel volumes to approximately 300 million and broaden its seller base instantly to over 700 online retailers.
In October last year, InPost UK acquired Menzies Distribution, a logistics provider based in the UK.
Last June, InPost expanded its partnership with Co-op, tripling the number of parcel lockers at the food retailer’s stores in the UK.
