Overview
- City governments and major delivery firms signed an agreement to expand parcel points and lockers across the four largest Dutch cities.
- The goal is universal access within walking or cycling distance by 2028, with planners in Rotterdam citing a range of roughly 300 to 500 meters.
- Carriers are expected to share locations and rent each other’s lockers, though DHL and PostNL say no concrete cross-usage deals are in place yet.
- Site selection is still to come, with candidates including public transport hubs, bike garages, libraries, shops, sports canteens and community centers.
- More than 200,000 parcels are delivered daily in the four cities, about 80% to homes, and officials aim to ease congestion and reduce environmental impacts.
