Quadient expanded its partnership with Morrisons to install Parcel Pending by Quadient lockers across Morrisons supermarkets, beginning with 125 locations in June 2026 before expanding across approximately 500 stores. The open-network lockers provide secure self-service parcel collection and returns, featuring multi-carrier compatibility and support for services including prescription collection, click-and-collect orders, key exchange and spare parts retrieval.
The rollout follows successful deployments at Morrisons Daily stores and forms part of Quadient's broader locker strategy, which includes more than 27,000 units worldwide and a target of 40,000 by 2030.
For shoppers, supermarket-based lockers combine parcel collection and returns with routine grocery trips, reducing missed deliveries and offering greater flexibility. The expansion also supports more efficient last-mile delivery operations while increasing access to convenient out-of-home delivery services.
