What is a Punto Pack?

A Punto Pack is a local store partnered with InPost. It can be a stationery shop, a flower shop, a tobacconist, or even a dry cleaner, acting as a pickup and return point for packages.

Advantages:

Ideal for you if…

• You prefer a human touch in case any questions come up.
• You want to send or return a package and don’t have a printer.
• You don’t mind depending on store opening hours.

What is a Locker InPost?

The Locker InPost is a smart locker available 24/7. They are installed in public places such as stations, gas stations, supermarkets, or central streets. You only need a PIN or a QR code to open the locker and pick up your order.

Advantages:

• No opening hours: go whenever you want, even in the middle of the night.
• No lines, no waiting, no talking to anyone.
• Quick pickup in less than 30 seconds.

Ideal for you if…

• You have complicated schedules.

Sustainability and efficiency

In addition, by picking up your package when it suits you, failed delivery attempts are avoided, which improves the efficiency of the entire logistics chain.
