Aldi has announced a new initiative that aims to make the lives of shoppers easier, starting this month.
The supermarket will be trialling the use of parcel lockers outside some of its UK stores, meaning Britons visiting branches can complete two jobs at once.
At select Aldi stores, customers will now be able to collect and return online orders from other retailers at the lockers placed outside branches.
This comes as the supermarket announces its new partnership with parcel locker provider InPost.

Throughout March, InPost lockers will be available outside 22 Aldi stores across the country.
Communications director at Aldi UK Richard Thornton commented: "We are all about making things efficient for our customers, and the installation of InPost lockers will make shopping at Aldi even more convenient.
“People can collect or return parcels while they are doing their shopping, with the lockers accessible with a QR code. If the trial is successful, this will hopefully be something available to lots more of our shoppers later this year.”
CEO at InPost International Michael Rouse added: "We’re on a mission to bring unrivalled parcel convenience to shoppers in the UK, and this trial with Aldi does just that.
