Tesco trials new feature at UK stores to make shopping more convenient
Royal Mail's lockers at Tesco stores allow 24/7 parcel services with label printing and online postage payment in a six-month trial across multiple UK locations.
- Royal Mail will host a six-month trial installing parcel lockers outside Tesco stores for 24/7 parcel sending, collecting, and returning, marking the first Tesco trial.
- With a network of 25,000 locations, Tesco said the trial aims to improve parcel access and supports Royal Mail's expansion goals, according to Jack Clarkson.
- Some lockers can print postage labels for customers who cannot print at home, and users must pay online and use a QR code to access lockers in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Barrow, Burnham-on-Sea, Bury, Cullompton, Horwich, March, Preston and Salisbury.
- Royal Mail lockers will sit alongside existing InPost machines at Tesco stores, giving shoppers extra collection and drop-off choices in this small hub partner trial.
- The six-month trial will determine if Royal Mail expands locker access beyond Tesco stores as part of plans to grow from 25,000 locations toward 45,000 parcel points by 2030.
