Lukoil and De Buren have announced a partnership under which De Buren will install parcel lockers at 27 Lukoil service stations in the Netherlands. Consumers will be able to collect or send parcels from these lockers 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

As with a previously announced partnership this year, under which De Buren is installing parcel lockers at 196 Tango petrol and charging stations, these new lockers will also form part of De Buren’s open network. This means there is no focus on a specific carrier: DHL, DHL Express, DPD and UPS are already using the service.

According to De Buren, the new partnership stands out from others due to the location of the petrol stations. “Many Lukoil petrol stations are situated on approach roads and in busy residential areas, where there is often no shop or collection point in the immediate vicinity. A parcel locker will therefore be within walking or cycling distance of many homes.”

Broader service locations

For Lukoil, the partnership ties in with the company’s ongoing efforts to transform petrol stations into broader service locations. “Our petrol stations are much more than just a place to fill up cheaply,” says Rob Goedhart, Lukoil’s district manager for the Netherlands. “We are constantly developing our sites into full-service stations where convenience and service come together. De Buren’s parcel lockers are a valuable addition to this and contribute to an even more comprehensive service for our customers.”

The parcel lockers are being installed mainly in the south of Limburg, including near Maastricht. Machines are also being installed in Leerdam, Utrecht, and the South Holland towns of Alblasserdam and Capelle aan den IJssel. The majority of the 27 machines have now been installed; the remaining locations will follow shortly.
