Morrisons has partnered with global automation platform Quadient to roll out parcel lockers to 230 of its Daily convenience sites by spring 2025.

The Parcel Pending by Quadient lockers will  be in addition to the other parcel solutions available at all of the supermarket giant’s 1,000 wholly owned Daily stores.

Morrisons convenience trading director Michael Wightman said the move comes as customers have expressed a desire for a “broader range of services when it comes to parcel pickups and returns”.

Quadient’s parcel lockers automatically notify customers when parcels are ready for collection, providing a pickup code and barcode that can be used to open the secure locker compartments.

Customers returning items can use a built-in label printer, meaning they can send items back even if they don’t have a printer at home.

Quadient lockers automation for Europe director Katia Bourgeais said: “Our lockers seamlessly integrate into people’s daily routines, making parcel pickup and drop-off more convenient than ever. This partnership with Morrisons Daily will enhance accessibility for communities across the UK.”

Morrisons is not the first UK grocer to ramp up its parcel locker offering this year. Co-op partnered with Yeep! to install lockers at 30 of its sites last month, and Aldi expanded its partnership with InPost to over 260 stores.
