What is needed to become a parcel pickup point?

Feb 28, 2025

If you have a physical business and are looking for a new source of income, becoming a pickup point can be a great opportunity. More and more people are choosing to collect their orders at a Punto Pack or at a Locker to avoid waiting and gain flexibility.

But how does a pickup point work and what do you need to get started? Here we tell you.

What is a pickup point and how does it work?

A pickup point is a partner business or smart locker where customers can pick up and, in some cases, return packages without depending on the courier's schedule.

Types of pickup points at InPost:

  • Punto Packs: Neighborhood shops that store packages until customers pick them up during the store's opening hours.
  • Lockers: Smart lockers available 24/7 to pick up or return orders contactlessly.

Both options are a more convenient, flexible, and sustainable alternative for receiving and returning packages.

Requirements to become a Punto Pack or install an InPost Locker

If you have a physical business or space for smart lockers and want to become a pickup point, you can join InPost's hybrid network.

If you want to become a Punto Pack:

  • Accessible location: well-situated businesses with good visibility.
  • Secure space: an area designated for storing packages.
  • Extended hours: the greater the availability, the better.
  • No initial investment: you don't need to buy equipment or carry out renovations.

If you want to install a Locker in your space:

  • Strategic location: high-traffic areas, such as parking lots, gas stations, or shopping centers.

  • No initial investment: you don't need to buy equipment or carry out renovations.

How much can you earn as a Punto Pack or by installing a Locker?

It depends on the option you choose. As a Punto Pack, you receive a commission for each package handled: the more pickups and returns you manage, the greater your earnings will be. If you choose to install a Locker, you get a fixed rent for providing the space.

And the benefits are not just financial. Many businesses that are part of our InPost hybrid network have noticed an increase in customer traffic, more visibility for their business, and new cross-selling opportunities. By becoming a reference point in your area, more people will come into your store, increasing the chance of generating new purchases.
