General information

What is a parcel locker?

A parcel locker is a 24/7 self-service parcel delivery service which allows you to securely collect, return and send parcels with just the scan of a code.

Where is my nearest InPost locker?

Your nearest locker could be outside your local supermarket or the station you commute from.

How do I track my parcel?

If you are waiting to collect a parcel from an InPost locker, you’ll find your tracking details in your order confirmation or dispatch email.

If you are sending or returning a parcel using an InPost locker, your tracking number will be emailed to you once you have dropped off your parcel.

Track your parcel

Do you have a weight limit?

The heaviest parcel you can send is 15kg.

How big are InPost lockers?

Each locker has three different sized compartments for you to choose from:

Small: 8cm x 38 cm x 64 cm
Medium: 19cm x 38cm x 64cm
Large: 41cm x 38cm x 64cm

Can I put two or more parcels in the same locker compartment?

No – when dropping off a parcel at an InPost locker, each parcel must have its own unique label and be put in separate locker compartments to avoid your parcel going missing.

Email

How will I know when my parcel is ready to collect?

When your parcel has arrived you will receive an email and text message from InPost containing your collection code.

I have made two separate orders for collection at a locker. Will both parcels be in the same locker compartment?

No, they will be in two separate compartments and you will be sent two different collection codes.

Collection information

When at the locker, how do I get my parcel?

The fastest way to collect your parcel is to scan the QR code that can be found in the collection email or via a link in the text.

Alternatively, you can manually enter your mobile number and unique 6-digit PIN.

How long do I have to collect my parcel?

You have 72 hours (3 days) to collect your parcel from the time it’s delivered.

InPost will send you a reminder email and text message when you have 24 hours left to collect your parcel before it’s sent back to the store.

I ran out of time to collect my parcel. What do I do next?

Please contact the store you bought from and they will be able to help you out.

I received two collection codes for the same order. What do I do?

This just means your order has been split between two parcels.

Scan your first QR code to get your first parcel and scan your other QR code to get your second parcel.

Delivery to home

Where is my parcel?

If you are waiting for your parcel to be delivered to your address, please contact your sender to obtain tracking information.

My parcel is delayed

Please note, before checking the status of your delivery, contact your sender first to confirm they have sent your parcel.

So we can provide you help, please let us know which company your sender used to send your parcel. If you are unsure, we recommend reaching out to your sender to check the status of your delivery.
