Royal Mail has launched a new parcel locker trial at selected Tesco stores across the UK.
Royal Mail will seek to provide customers a convenient way to collect, send and return parcels 24/7, offering another option to collect, send and return parcels.
The lockers feature label printing, making the process convenient for customers who do not have access to a printer.
To use them, customers need to pay for postage online and get a QR code or request a QR code if they are returning a purchase.
The six-month trial will see lockers installed outside Tesco stores, enabling customers to access them at any time. The first lockers are now live at stores in:
- Ashby-de-la-Zouch
- Barrow
- Burnham-on-Sea
- Bury
- Cullompton
- Horwich
- March
- Preston
- Salisbury
Royal Mail now has 25,000 locations including 2,600 lockers, 11,500 Post Office branches, 8,000 Royal Mail Shop outlets, 1,200 Royal Mail Customer Service Points and 1,400 parcel postboxes.
Royal Mail, managing director for out-of-home & commercial excellence at, Jack Clarkson, said: “We are really excited to bring Royal Mail lockers to Tesco stores.
“This partnership is another example of how we are making it easier than ever for our customers to collect, send and return parcels with us.
“It’s great news for shoppers and a step towards delivering our ambition to triple our parcel points to 45,000 by 2030.”
