Sainsbury’s has launched a new partnership with Royal Mail to install parcel lockers at stores across the UK, becoming the first major supermarket to join Royal Mail’s growing network of drop-off and collection points.
Royal Mail, which launched its locker network in December, currently has units installed at six Sainsbury’s locations, with further expansion planned.
The lockers currently offer drop-off services and include in-built label printing functionality. Plans are also in place to introduce collection services in the near future.

Patrick Dunne, chief property and procurement officer at the supermarket said: “At Sainsbury’s we’re always looking for innovative ways to deliver the best value, quality and service for our customers.
“That’s why we’re delighted to be partnering with Royal Mail to offer this fantastic new proposition at our stores.
“The lockers will be available seven days a week, giving customers an easy, convenient way to drop off and collect parcels via Royal Mail as they shop.”
Royal Mail group strategy and transformation director Jack Clarkson added: “Partnering with a retailer with the scale and popularity of Sainsbury’s is great news for our customers and the UK public, who will now have even more ways to drop off and collect their parcels in convenient locations.
“To meet our goal of making sending and receiving parcels as easy as possible, we must considerably expand our network. This is the start of an exciting partnership with Sainsbury’s that will help us to meet that goal at pace.”
