Delivery Options can return locker collection points via the PUDO optionType parameter.
These points can then be presented on your customer website alongside a map showing their locations, e.g.

This article is aimed at Delivery Manager customers who wish to return nothing else but lockers as PUDOs. These customers fall into two categories:
-
If you are a new Metapack customer, who is only going to be using Delivery Options to return locker collection points, then all setup is carried out by Metapack, and you can move straight to Returning Locker Options.
-
If you are an existing Delivery Options customer who now wants to use PUDO calls to return lockers, then some specific setup is initially required within your existing Delivery Manager configuration before you make any API calls. Refer to Setup for an existing Delivery Options customer.
The following is the recommended setup process:
-
Add a new warehouse specifically to handle deliveries to lockers.
Note
This warehouse can be a 'virtual' as opposed to a physical location.
-
Add the Inpost United Kingdom carrier to the warehouse, and subscribe to both of the available services:
-
Configure these services as required.
In particular:
-
Add the services to the Depots for the warehouse, e.g.
-
Ensure that the costs and charges for the services are up to date:
-
-
Create a user to be responsible for returning locker options from the API calls.
-
Ensure that this user is locked to the warehouse created at step 1, e.g.
-
Proceed from Returning Locker Options below.
The user attached to the warehouse set up for returning locker options, can make a call using the wh_code, PUDO optionType parameter, and an appropriate radius.
Important
Ensure that you have your warehouse code and API key to hand.
For example, the following is a call used to return the next available locker pickup options for each carrier service within 10 kilometres of a particular UK postcode:
GET https://dmo.metapack.com/dmoptions/find?key=<API-Key>&wh_code=BSK123&r_t=lsc&c_pc=WC1X 8XZ&optionType=PUDO&radius=10000
This is an example of the JSON that might be returned from the above call:
