Bpost shifts parcel delivery priority to automated lockers, impacting local retail partners

Bpost has implemented a policy prioritizing its proprietary 'bbox' lockers over third-party Post points for parcel deliveries in areas with sufficient locker density. This change restricts consumer delivery options, directly threatening the revenue streams of local bookstores that serve as designated collection points. The move represents a strategic shift toward automated logistics at the expense of the existing retail-based distribution network.
