Know before you go - check for locker space

Thanks to all your locker love and support, we know how popular our lockers are. Each one of our lockers gets a daily visit from a courier to keep up with your parcel needs (unless it’s broken). Yes, that’s right, we deliver 7 days a week including Sundays. 

While our wonderful team are working around the clock to bring you as many lockers up and down the UK as possible, we strongly encourage all you locker legends to check for locker availability before you drop your parcels off.  

Here’s how: 

Check before you drop 

Knowing that there is space at the parcel locker of your choice will give you the peace of mind that we all not only want but deserve. Simply tap the map in the app (is that enough rhyming words tho’?). 

  1. Save time: Knowing which lockers have space helps you plan your drop offs. Whether it’s on your way to the office or the gym, make sure that there’s free compartments at the lockers that work for you. 

  2. Stay (In)Posted: Whether you’re sending a parcel or returning one, checking ahead will help keep your life admin stress-free. If you’re sending multiple parcels make sure you head to a locker with enough space. 

  3. Keeping sending simple: One quick check in the app ensures means you can know before you go that there’s a compartment ready for your parcel. 

How to check for locker space 

Checking space is as easy as 1-2-3: 

  1. Open the InPost app: If you haven’t downloaded it yet, now’s the perfect time. 

  2. Find your locker location: Use the map or search for the one nearest to you. 

  3. Check availability: The app shows real-time locker availability, so you know exactly where to go.
