bpost is launching a pilot project that allows customers to send items without packaging or labels by simply dropping them off in a Parcel locker. In the first part of the trial, this shipping option will only be available through the My bpost app.
Starting today, private customers and businesses sending items from the Antwerp region via bpost can opt for a shipment method that does not require any packaging or labelling. The only condition is that the item is sent from and to a bpost Parcel locker. The pilot project, which has been running since 6 January, involves
more than 30 lockers located in Antwerp and its surrounding areas . The aim is to offer this new shipping option throughout Belgium in the course of 2025.
The lowest rate
This new solution prioritises the bpost customer’s convenience above all else. It spares the sender the hassle of dealing with cardboard boxes, adhesive tape or label printing. What’s more, this packaging-free shipping will immediately become the cheapest within bpost’s offer. For €3.99, customers will be able to send items weighing up to two kilogrammes from one Parcel locker to another in Belgium.
By launching this innovation, bpost is also responding to the rapid growth of the circular economy in Belgium. Online purchases from one person to another through popular platforms such as Vinted or other second-hand sites are becoming increasingly common. Not only is this way of shopping good for the environment and the planet, but it’s also gentle on the budget. Sending items from one parcel locker to another fits in perfectly with this concept.
