Can I offer inPost locker as a delivery option? (not simple post)

[crg_music]

As above.

I see it as an option when creating a postage option, "Inpost Locker Drop-off" is listed as a choice but does this include collection also or is that just for Inpost Locker To Door?

I do my post myself so would be booking postage straight through Inpost. £1.99 locker to locker up to 15kg is just outrageous.

Obviously I'd have a delivery option also for every order but to be able to offer free inpost locker as an option rather than royal mail would save a fortune and save a trip. Buyer can still choose Royal Mail for a small amount more.

Basically no, because you have to deliver to the address supplied by the buyer on the ebay order.

Unless that address is the inpost locker itself, theres your issue.

Thats a shame but thanks. 

Assumably I can see send but would have to be delivered to door hence ebay have it listed as an option.

Maybe they will add it in the future.

If anyone is interested you can send through them to door from £2.89.

Pricing is on parcel size and not weight so the max weight is 15kg regardless. 

Only issue is max insurance is £20.

The answer above is incorrect.

You can use the Inpost Service to send to customers.

You need to select it on whatever postage policy you are using.

I'm not entirely sure how it actually works, but it's certainly there to use.

the OP was asking if they could use the locker to locker service.

So the end customer would have to go and collect from a locker close to them.

I realise I may have misunderstood your post.

id assumed you were specifically looking at locker to locker delivery

locker to door by inpost is possible I’ve used it myself

If seller offers it as “other courier” on custom postage as well as other options and it’s made clear somewhere in the listing it’s locker to locker and the buyer picks it  up whose gonna know 

the tracking number though I don’t know if it would register as delivered

inpost would have proof of delivery

unless it’s a legal thing

I have installed the app to have a look. The prices for home delivery from a small or medium locker are excellent if you have up to 15kg heavy items.

Their prohibited items list is extensive though, reading between the lines it comes across as though they just want to handle clothing. Still, can’t criticise those prices, even with a £20 insurance cap for certain items it is a perfect shipping option.

If you pack like Fort Knox should be fine

also, if using them direct through their app you can’t print labels, the courier opens the lockers and prints the labels according to all the digital info, but sometimes this goes wrong, with people receiving others parcels, always best to stick your own piece of paper on with addressee details and senders for backup

My first thought was I have loads of Xbox 360 consoles to sell. They are fairly low value now but tend to be in the 5kg parcel price. £3.99 home delivery is really good for those. Games consoles are on their prohibited list but they take them on Vinted so yeah just package well and it will be fine. 

Thankfully the mixed up labels seems to be a thing of the past. I’m sure it still happens now and again but they seem to have improved a lot since their early days.

Good luck no harm in trying it out 

And yes 3.99 home delivery for that weight is excellent
