The best way to send and receive parcels during the holidays

The days have become longer and sunnier. It’s hard to resist the pull of the beach, a picnic in the park or a beer on a terrace. Summer has arrived and the urge to get out of the house and enjoy the warmth; which is just one more reason to receive your parcels through InPost.

Whether you are travelling or at home, on holiday or at work, InPost’s non-home delivery service is the most efficient, convenient and also eco-friendly way to receive and send parcels this summer.

Summer shopping

The warm season is a time of great activity for stores and shoppers, from sales events to beach and holiday clothing, camping gear, accessories and much more.

Many people are on holiday and, for those away from home, out-of-home deliveries are a very convenient option. If you are travelling, in a hotel or at your favourite place to relax, just find a pickup point near you to collect your parcels, and all the logistics are easily taken care of.

Our network of pickup points is extensive – more than 10,000 Pack Points and Lockers in the Iberian Peninsula, precisely so there is always one in a convenient location. As an added benefit, using them means that delivery will be made via well-known routes, which tends to avoid delays and complications.

The most comfortable way to receive parcels

Most people are not especially enthusiastic about subjecting themselves to more hassles during the holidays than necessary: the rest of the year is enough for us. The prospect of having to be at home to receive a parcel, possibly in the morning after a night of partying, or perhaps in the afternoon when the sea and the sun are calling us, is not appealing. This is without having to repeat the process if the courier does not find us at home.

Out-of-home delivery is, during the holidays and the rest of the year, the most flexible and convenient option, allowing you to collect your parcels at a time that suits you, within 8 days and at a pickup point of your choice.

International deliveries

The InPost service is also available for those on holiday in a European foreign country. Our international deliveries have unbeatable rates and cover Spain, France, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.

Additionally, both our national and international shipments can be tracked in real time and with great ease through a tracking system that is available to both sender and recipient, an important feature that contributes to peace of mind and transparency in the process.

Returns

During the summer, largely due to the amount of clothing that ends up not fitting, returns are very common.

One of the strengths of the InPost service is that it makes the return process very simple and quick, since it can be done, just like pickups, through the nearest Pack Point or Locker. Make your returns while avoiding queues and stress.

The right strategy for your sales

For many people, summer decluttering is a tradition as solid as beach days. And the best destination for old items you no longer wear, books you no longer read or accessories you no longer use is resale. In fact, this is a practice that should be encouraged for the good of nature: every year, there is a gigantic amount of discarded products that ends up polluting the environment, when they could have been reused, not to mention the natural resources spent on manufacturing new ones.

Nowadays, online sales have made this form of commerce very common and easier than ever. Visit Vinted’s website to find out how to put your second-hand clothes up for sale, for example. Also see this other article of ours with some tips for your online sales.

And don’t forget to make non-home shipping with InPost available to your customers, the most efficient and sustainable approach to shipments for your summer sales.
