Asos has become the first British retailer to roll out a nationwide next-day delivery service across InPost lockers in the UK.

Shoppers at Asos, which currently has 18 million active customers in more than 200 markets, will be able to select InPost Lockers at checkout as their primary out-of-home option.

Asos customers will be able to collect their parcels the next day from InPost's network of lockers and parcel shops for the first time.

“We know that customers come to ASOS for the latest fashion when they want it," said David Flavell, director of delivery solutions, Asos. "Adding InPost’s extensive network of over 16,000 lockers and parcel shops to our offering, with a next day delivery, gives customers even more choice and convenience in how they get the fashion they love."

The move comes as InPost accelerates its growth, with the company recently announcing the acquisition of UK parcel delivery company Yodel.

Following the takeover, the business said its UK market share will increase to eight per cent, making it the third largest e-commerce logistics carrier in the UK.

The UK will now account for roughly 30 per cent of group revenue.

“This launch is a game changer for out-of-home delivery in the UK,” said Neil Kuschel, chief executive InPost. “By introducing the first nationwide next-day locker service, we’re setting a new standard for delivery.

"Asos is the perfect partner to launch with – a brand that shares our commitment to innovation and putting customers first.”

InPost says that its network is the largest automated parcel and collection delivery system in Europe.

It has over 50,000 automated parcel machines across nine countries, including the UK, France, Poland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.
