And a Tesco change is set to make life easier for customers with parcels to send.
The retail giant is teaming up with Evri, Yeep and Royal Mail to extend its network of parcel lockers.
The handy lockers placed outside Tesco branches allow for shoppers to quickly and easily send packages or return online orders.
While multiple Tesco stores already boast an InPost locker service, it’s now been revealed that Yeep lockers will introduced, with an initial rollout at 30 selected locations.

Yeep CEO, Jamie Dickinson, told The Grocer: “As one of the UK’s most trusted retailers, Tesco shares our commitment to convenience, accessibility, and community presence, making this a significant milestone for Yeep.
“This partnership marks an important step in our mission to make parcel delivery and returns simpler, smarter, and more accessible.
“By placing lockers at Tesco locations, we are meeting customers where they already shop and providing secure, convenient parcel services that fit seamlessly into their daily routines,” he added.
Meanwhile, Evri will extend its parcel locker network, with the addition of a “small number” set to appear at selected Tesco Extra and Superstore branches to start.
A Tesco spokesperson said: “We’re constantly looking for ways to make the shopping trip even more convenient for our customers, and as part of a small locker hub partner trial across a small number of stores, where we are bringing a number of providers together, we’re pleased to introduce Evri lockers across a selected small number of stores.”
News of the expanding initiative comes after Tesco and Royal Mail collaborated for a six month trial of parcel lockers at nine stores back in March.
The lockers provide QR code label printing service for those without a printer and mean waiting times at the Post Office can be skipped.
