Aldi set to introduce major change to over 500 UK stores | UK | News
Aldi announced that more than 500 UK stores currently have Inpost Cabinets and allow customers to easily collect and return online parcels while shopping. The supermarket chain aims to expand this service to at least 600 stores by the end of the year. Cabinets currently available in 536 stores in England, Scotland and Wales are part of Aldi’s ongoing partnership with Inpost, a leading parcel dressing provider.
Aldi initially launched Inpost cabinets in 2023 with a trial at 22 locations. After receiving positive feedback from customers, the retailer expanded the presentation in 2024 and rapidly increased the number of stores that have been serving since then.
Aldi UK National Real Estate General Manager Jonathan Neale said: “Ease and efficiency are important for our customers, so we continue to offer as many inpost cabinets to our stores as much as possible.
“We have always been a goal to save time and money to our customers, so it is really valuable to make people buy or return while making a weekly shop.”
Inpost UK CEO Neil Kuschel added: “Our growing partnership with Aldi reflects a common commitment to offer the best daily shopping experience for customers in the UK.
“Together, we help create a more suitable, cost -effective and sustainable way to make collections and return as easy and accessible as possible to manage the parcels of shoppers.”

Inpost cabinets offer a quick and easy way to manage the parcels without having to wait at home for delivery or visit a post office.
The partnership between Aldi and Inpost reflects the increasing supermarket tendency that transformed into multiple service centers and blends traditional grocery shopping with e-commerce facilities.
Inpost cabinets become an increasingly popular feature in the UK supermarkets. In addition to Aldi, retailers such as Lidl and Co-op also introduced these parcel cabinets and offer customers more suitable options to collect and return online orders while shopping in the store.
