InPost UK Tracking
InPost UK tracking helps you follow a parcel sent to an InPost Locker, InPost Shop, home address, or return route. InPost runs the UK’s network of self-service parcel lockers (and shop points), popular with retailers like Vinted and many fashion stores. You collect with a QR code or PIN once the parcel is ready. Use this page to understand locker tracking, collection codes, missed updates, delivery times, and parcels that aren’t ready for collection.

Why InPost UK Tracking Is Not Updating
InPost tracking may pause when the retailer hasn’t handed over the parcel, the parcel waits for locker processing, or the next scan hasn’t posted yet. Short gaps are normal. If it’s stuck for a while, see Why Is My Tracking Not Updating?

Collection tip
Don’t go to the locker or shop until the tracking page, app, SMS, or email says the parcel is ready to collect. You’ll usually need a collection code or QR code.
InPost Parcel Ready for Pickup
If your InPost parcel is ready for pickup, collect it before the deadline — usually a few days. A missed collection can send the parcel back to the retailer or sender. If the app or tracking still says it’s not ready, our guide on an InPost parcel not ready to collect explains why.
