100 new lockers at Carrefour Italia shops: #VICINOATE even at the supermarket!

How many times have you thought "it would be really handy to be able to send or pick up a parcel while I'm at the supermarket" ... We are happy to announce that this thought is already a reality!

As of January 2024, in fact, we have started with the installation of 100 new lockers, in addition to those already present, at Carrefour supermarkets.

The supermarket lockers are the consumers' favourite, the ones with the most success in terms of the actual number of parcels handled.

Did you know that our supermarket lockers are mainly used during lunch hours? In particular, our customers' favourite time slot is from 12 noon to 2 p.m., with an average even higher than the total number of InPost lockers throughout Italy!

InPost and Carrefour: an increasingly strong partnership

With this new agreement, the total number of lockers installed at Carrefour supermarkets will be around 170 and will allow an increasing number of users to send and collect their parcels at any time from their trusted or nearest supermarket, before or after shopping, with considerable time and travel savings compared to traditional parcel shipping and delivery services.

"We start the new year confident that we will continue to grow in Italy with relevant partners. - commented Nicola D'Elia, Managing Director Southern Europe of InPost, who continued: "Being able to combine parcel pick-up and delivery with shopping allows consumers to save time and reduce travel, which translates into less traffic and emissions. Users now know this and are not missing out on this opportunity, which is also slowly taking root in the habits of the Italian population, as is now customary in several northern European countries."

We also read the words of Chiara John Agostini, Franchising and Expansion Director Carrefour Italy - "We are particularly proud to continue our partnership with InPost. The additional services that our shops offer represent a fundamental part of our strategy in Italy and as a company we want to continue to focus on those we consider useful for the needs of our customers. In fact, the time factor is very important today and offering the possibility to send or collect a parcel quickly and easily while doing your daily shopping is a valuable advantage for everyone".
