- Customers can now access Geopost’s network of 100,000 parcel shops and 40,000 lockers across Europe. In 2025, lockers have become the second most preferred delivery option among European e-shoppers[1].

- Geopost’s OOH volumes grew by +26%, with cross-border volumes up by +44%[2], confirming the strong appeal of Geopost’s cross-border solutions.
- Today 94% of the European population live within 10 minutes[3] of a Pickup point, making OOH delivery a fast-growing consumer preference.
Bastien Wilshaw, EVP Strategy & Out-of-Home of Geopost, comments:
“This milestone materialises our long-standing commitment to building one of the preferred out-of-home networks in Europe. Acknowledging growing consumer demand, we have been accelerating our investments into parcel lockers, alongside our dense network of parcel shops. We look forward to continuing offering our unique pan-European OOH network, cross-border expertise and range of OOH & home delivery solutions to our customers, to support their e-commerce growth and address their consumers’ need for convenience and flexibility.”
The Rise of Out-of-Home: Convenience Driving Change
Out-of-Home delivery has become an integral part of European consumers’ shopping habits. According to Geopost’s 2025 E-Shopper Barometer[4], Europe’s widest annual survey of e-shopper preferences, 46% of regular European online shoppers now favour OOH options, with an increase of 15 points compared to 2019, reflecting a steady evolution.
This shift is driven by several factors: above all, the flexibility to collect parcels at a time and place that fits into e-shoppers’ lifestyles; the rise of C2C platforms, where users sell more than they buy, creating a demand for an accessible and extensive distribution network and finally, the need for cost-effectiveness. As schedules become busier, consumers are drawn to OOH delivery, a solution that empowers them to choose their delivery experience.
A pan-European and hybrid 140,000 OOH points network
Capitalising on this trend, Geopost has significantly invested in its out-of-home network and today operates one of Europe’s densest out of home cross border network, providing worldwide delivery options for e-commerce shippers and their customers. Geopost’s pan-European OOH network is already connected by regular cross-border linehauls, ensuring seamless parcel flows across 28 countries. It is supported by daily cross-border OOH routes, enabling parcel delivery from Pickup point to Pickup point across borders.
Thanks to this network, Geopost is meeting the needs of the 63% of regular e-shoppers who purchase cross-border on foreign websites (+5 points in 2025 vs. 2023, notably due to e-shopping between neighbouring countries). A key element of Geopost’s approach is its hybrid network strategy, combining home and out-of-home solutions, and among OOH lockers and parcel shops to adapt to diverse local preferences. As a result, Geopost serves major retailers, SMEs and European consumers, looking for flexible, hybrid delivery solutions. Indeed, while lockers are highly popular in markets like Poland and the Baltics, parcel shops remain the preferred option in countries such as France and Spain, where local shops play an important role in the delivery ecosystem.
This strategy has proved successful with OOH volumes across Geopost’s network increasing by +26% during the first half of 2025, compared to the same period last year, and OOH cross-border deliveries in particular growing by +44%.
