Overview

• Royal Mail will launch 250 dedicated parcel lockers in early 2025, providing 24/7 access for sending and collecting parcels.
• The lockers will be located outside delivery offices and third-party retailers, allowing customers to drop off parcels at their convenience.
• This initiative supports the growing number of online shoppers and marketplace sellers, offering features like label printing for ease of use.
• The rollout is part of Royal Mail's strategy to focus on parcel services as letter volumes continue to decline significantly over the years.
• Czech billionaire Daniel Křetínský, nearing a £3.6bn takeover of Royal Mail, plans to invest £800m to expand the locker network to 20,000 units nationwide.
