PostNL has opened its parcel locker network to FedEx, enabling customers to send and return their parcels at more than 1,100 lockers in the Netherlands 24 hours a day.
According to PostNL, consumers are increasingly opting for out-of-home delivery and the use of parcel lockers has nearly doubled in the last year. As a result, PostNL is also expanding its network with an additional 500 lockers on top of the existing 1,100.
For FedEx, these extra drop-off points will significantly expand its network of parcel locations in the Netherlands, which currently consists of approximately 700 pickup points.
“This partnership aligns perfectly with our ambition to strengthen our presence in the Netherlands,” confirmed Ron Willemsen, managing director of ground operations Benelux at FedEx. “Access to PostNL’s network allows us to offer our customers more flexibility and options when shipping their parcels. It is an important step in our strategy to operate more efficiently and be more customer-focused in a rapidly evolving e-commerce market.”
Barry Husman, director of out-of-home at PostNL, added, “PostNL has a large network of parcel lockers, which we continue to expand. By opening our network to other carriers, we offer consumers more choice and increase our reach. Due to this collaboration, customers can now also use the extensive PostNL network to send and return parcels via FedEx.”
