We are very proud to announce that at the end of Q1 2024 the network of distribution points in our country exceeded the number of active points in the same period in 2023 by 40%.

And the growth is not stopping: we have exceeded 7000 points of presence along the Peninsula and we are about to put on the ground the two thousandth locker, which has a special graphic to celebrate the milestone.

The graphics of Locker 2000 celebrate those who have helped achieve this important milestone: the InPost Team! That's why the locker features some faces of InPost employees, to thank those who work every day to bring the service "Closer to you."

"Closer to you" is indeed the company's campaign slogan, representing how InPost is actually close to its customers: thanks to its extensive network, convenience, and ease of use of its services.

The extensive network achieved by the InPost network in our country, present in 1,822 cities distributed across all regions, facilitates increasing usage by citizens of out-of-home delivery services.

By aggregating data from 10 of the largest cities, InPost covers 65% of the population, which means: over 5.5 million Italians living in Rome, Milan, Naples, Turin, Palermo, Genoa, Bologna, Florence, Bari, and Catania are within 5 minutes of an InPost point.

"On the Italian territory," comments Nicola D’Elia, managing director Southern Europe of InPost, "we are now present with 2,000 lockers, for a total of almost 122,000 compartments available 24/7 to accommodate the parcels that Italians purchase from over 200 e-commerce companies that have chosen our out-of-home delivery service. This growth, along with the approximately 5,000 InPost Points hosted at neighborhood businesses, confirms that the service offered is highly appreciated not only by the consumer who uses it but also by our partners: the businesses hosting our lockers or becoming our pickup points attract, thanks to this, new customers and new earning opportunities."

InPost's growth in Italy testifies to people's growing willingness to use a new out-of-home delivery method: one that doesn't waste time, therefore along the home-work commute, advantageous, convenient, free, safe, efficient, and above all sustainable.

Shipping with InPost allows customers to manage their deliveries independently and freely while maintaining privacy. Those who choose to pick up their package from a locker or an InPost point avoid the time wastage and inconveniences typical of home delivery with the guarantee of delivery on the first attempt.

The service's efficiency also translates into significant environmental savings because by optimizing transportation and reducing traffic on the roads, choosing out-of-home delivery means contributing to reducing emissions into the atmosphere, noise pollution, and the risk of accidents.
