DHL Introduces 'White Lockers' for Multi-Carrier Parcel Pickup in Germany
The new lockers, launched by DHL's DeinFach subsidiary, allow consumers to collect and send packages from multiple delivery services in a single location.
- DHL's subsidiary DeinFach has launched its first 'white lockers' in Cologne, Bonn, and Berlin, offering a neutral platform for multiple parcel carriers.
- The lockers are designed to accept packages from DHL, UPS, and potentially other services like DPD, which is currently evaluating participation.
- DeinFach aims to install at least 1,000 lockers by the end of 2025, complementing existing networks like Myflexbox, which also plans to expand to 1,000 locations this year.
- These lockers reduce delivery traffic and improve environmental efficiency by consolidating package drop-offs and pickups in centralized locations.
- The initiative responds to growing consumer demand for 24/7 parcel access and aligns with municipal calls for unified, multi-carrier solutions.
