Sales 2025: tips for shopping, receiving packages and returns

The 2025 summer sales are here and packed with opportunities. Zara, Stradivarius, Mango… the big brands have already launched their discounts and you’re sure to have your cart ready.

In this article, we tell you how to get the most out of the sales, not only by saving money, but also by gaining convenience. We’re going to talk about:

• The key dates of this sales season
• How to pick up without waiting at Lockers or InPost Pack Points
• Easy returns with InPost
• Track your orders at all times

The 2025 summer sales started online on June 25 at brands like Zara, Pull&Bear or Stradivarius, and on June 26 in physical stores. Other brands such as Mango or El Corte Inglés have joined in, and also launched their discounts at the end of June.

Although each store has its own schedule, it is usual for sales to last until the end of July or even the beginning of August. Some brands keep promotions going until stocks run out, with second and third sales throughout the month.

Knowing these dates helps you plan your purchases better: advance on items you know will sell out, take advantage of the best prices and avoid queues or out-of-stock products. If you haven’t placed your orders yet, you’re still in time to find real discounts.

Sales are the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe… as long as you shop smart. Beyond the price, there are some details that make all the difference. Here are 3 tips to help you shop better:

1. Check the sizes and measurement guides carefully. This way, you’ll avoid having to exchange something you already knew wouldn’t fit you.
2. Check the return policies for each item before clicking, as well as the deadlines.
3. Group your purchases. If you place several orders, try to have them delivered to the same pickup point. More convenient for you and also more sustainable.

Sales move thousands of orders and, with so much volume, delays or failed deliveries are not uncommon. The solution? Choose how and where you want to receive your purchases. With InPost, that’s easy.

Our smart Lockers and Pack Points:

• They’re available with broad opening hours: Lockers 24/7 and Pack Points during business hours, so you can pick up when it suits you best.
• Very easy: you arrive and pick up, with up to 8 days to collect your order once it’s available.
• More than 10,000 points across Spain: gas stations, neighborhood shops and supermarkets.

Shopping during the sales, yes. But with deliveries at your own pace.

When you shop during the sales, receiving your package is part of the experience. With InPost, you have total control, and you know at all times where your shipment is:
