The partnership provides consumers with more choice and convenience while supporting both companies in their shared ambition to deliver in a smarter and more sustainable way.
Convenience where consumers already are
Thanks to this partnership, consumers can now pick up or return their DPD parcels at the well-known Budbee lockers, which will soon feature the DPD logo. These lockers are conveniently located in everyday places - from Albert Heijn supermarkets to H&M stores - making parcel pickup and returns a natural part of the shopping experience.
We’re very proud to see Budbee’s smart locker network contribute to more sustainable and seamless parcel delivery across the Netherlands. Together with DPD, we’re offering consumers even greater flexibility - while continuing to drive innovation and responsible growth in last-mile delivery. Given the European footprint of DPD, consumers in the Netherlands can now use Budbee lockers for orders at a wide variety of European webshops,
says Jørgen Höppener, Country Manager Netherlands, Instabee Group.
Instabee Group, which includes Budbee,Instabox and Porterbuddy, is a European delivery company known for combining convenience and sustainability in every delivery. By joining forces, DPD Netherlands and Instabee bring together pioneering networks with one shared goal: to simplify everyday life for consumers while reducing environmental impact.
Consumers benefit from longer opening hours and more pickup options, while DPD strengthens its sustainable delivery ambitions and Instabee continues to expand its footprint across Europe.
With Budbee, we share the same vision: customers want choice, convenience, and control over their delivery. As part of Geopost, with a European network of 131,000 parcel shops and 35,000 parcel lockers, this partnership is a strong addition to our Out-of-Home footprint in the Netherlands. By connecting our networks, we make parcel delivery and returns even smarter, more sustainable, and more accessible, exactly what our customers are asking for Erik Uljee, CEO of DPD Netherlands.
Both DPD Netherlands and Instabee Group are part of international networks committed to sustainability and innovation. By expanding the number of parcel lockers and optimizing logistics operations, CO₂ emissions can be further reduced. More parcels can be delivered in a single stop, resulting in fewer kilometers driven and less doorstep traffic.
The integration of the first lockers into the DPD network has already begun.
