Amsterdam, 18 September 2025 – Budbee, part of Instabee Group and a leader in last-mile delivery, has announced a new partnership with Flink, the fast grocery delivery service. Starting today, customers in several cities can pick up their Budbee parcels from parcel lockers located at Flink’s city hubs. With this collaboration, Budbee and Flink aim to make everyday life easier by bringing parcels and groceries together in one convenient location.
By combining Budbee’s extensive network of parcel lockers with the central location and efficiency of Flink’s hubs, the two companies are offering residents a faster, more convenient, and more sustainable solution.
Robin Kiesler, Managing Director of Flink, says: “By adding parcel collection to our hubs, we’re offering customers even greater convenience. This not only makes their daily lives easier but also more efficient. It’s a frequent request from local residents: they often noticed that we were still open while their parcel point was already closed, and said they would prefer to pick up their parcels at Flink.”
The partnership will begin with seven locations in Leiden, Almelo, Eindhoven, Haarlem, and Rotterdam. Budbee lockers are available daily from 9:00 to 20:00. Flink itself will remain open longer, so customers can still have their groceries delivered to their door outside these hours. This first phase marks a major step toward the shared goal of both companies: providing easy, fast, and sustainable access to everyday essentials, thereby fostering a more comfortable and environmentally conscious urban lifestyle.
“We are very excited about this collaboration with Flink,” adds Jorgen Höppener, Country Manager of Budbee. "We see partnerships such as the one with Flink as an important part of achieving our goal of more than 3,000 locations in the Netherlands in the coming years. "With our logistics technology and lockers, combined with the conveniently located Flink hubs, we’re making parcel and grocery collection both easier and greener.”
