Shell joins forces with Quadient to bring parcel lockers to service stations
Quadient has announced a new partnership with Shell Service Stations, which has over 540 petrol forecourt locations throughout the UK.
As part of the new collaboration, Parcel Pending by Quadient smart lockers are being deployed across the UK, with the first 200 installations already rolling out, marking another successful step in Quadient’s mission to scale up to 5,000 open-access units nationwide by 2027. Accessible to all carriers and service providers, the smart lockers offer a flexible, secure platform for 24/7 delivery, returns, and exchanges. They also serve as versatile service points, accommodating temporary storage and services such as prescription pickup, click-and-collect retail orders, spare part distribution, and key collection.
“Partnering with Shell Service Stations brings Parcel Pending by Quadient smart lockers even closer to everyday life for communities across the UK,” said Katia Bourgeais Crémel, EVP Parcel Locker Solutions Europe, Quadient. “Shell’s highly accessible locations are open long hours and seamlessly embedded into people’s daily routines, making them prime locations for expanding our open locker network. Together, we’re simplifying last-mile logistics by offering people a convenient, secure way to send, return, or collect parcels on their terms. This collaboration not only strengthens our UK footprint but also supports Shell’s ambition to deliver more sustainable, customer-centric services.”
