E-commerce logistics specialist InPost UK has teamed up with fashion retailer ASOS to launch a nationwide next-day locker delivery service for the fashion retailer’s customers.
Announcing the deal this week, InPost hailed the new delivery service as “gamechanging” and part of its wider plans to expand its presence in the UK
The company added that the service, which is available exclusively to ASOS customers, marks a “major step forward” for out-of-home (OOH) delivery in the UK, offering next-day collection from InPost’s network of lockers and parcel shops for the first time.
Shoppers will be able to select InPost Lockers at checkout as their primary OOH delivery option, with the service being free of charge for ASOS Premier customers.
The launch follows a series of strategic moves by InPost to accelerate its growth and boost its infrastructure in the UK, which is its fastest-growing market.
In April, InPost announced the acquisition of UK parcel delivery firm Yodel, which saw it significantly expand its last-mile capabilities and become the third-largest agnostic logistics player in the country.
Neil Kuschel, InPost chief executive, 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.”
David Flavell, ASOS director of delivery solutions, added: “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”
