Morrisons confirms major roll out of new feature across 500 supermarkets across UK

The Parcel Pending by Quadient lockers will be introduced nationwide following the success of the locker partnership at Morrisons Daily Stores introduced in spring last year.

Designed to make life easier for shoppers, the lockers allow customers to drop off or collect parcels while doing their grocery shopping.

John Parry, Head of Popular & Useful Services at Morrisons, said: “At Morrisons, we’re committed to providing services that make life easier for our customers and strengthen the role our stores play within local communities.

“Following the success of our Morrisons Daily partnership, expanding Quadient lockers into our supermarket estate is a natural next step.

“This partnership will enable us to offer customers greater flexibility and convenience while enhancing the range of useful services available through our stores.”

Installation of the lockers began last month and is initially being introduced across 125 locations.

The scheme will eventually cover Morrisons’ network of approximately 500 supermarkets over the next few months.

Once fully implemented, the network will offer customers self-service and secure parcel collection and return points for multiple carriers.

Katia Bourgeais-Crémel, EVP Parcel Locker Solutions Europe at Quadient, said: “The expansion of our partnership with Morrisons, one of the UK’s largest and trusted supermarket brands, reflects a shared vision of making everyday services more accessible for consumers.

“By extending our open locker network across Morrisons supermarkets, we’re helping consumers return and collect parcels as part of their normal routines, while providing retailers and carriers with a scale efficient delivery infrastructure.

“Together, we are making out-of-home delivery more convenient and accessible across communities.”

The partnership supports the supermarket’s commitment to providing their customers with safe and accessible services.

This is in a bid to help reduce missed deliveries, improve convenience for customers and support more efficient last-mile delivery operations.
