TZ Limited, led by Mark Bouris, has struck a deal to install parcel lockers in petrol stations and convenience stores as part of a plan to capitalise on the online retailing boom.

TZ Limited will install the lockers at petrol stations and convenience stores throughout Australia, providing customers with convenient local pickup points.

The company plans to install lockers at more than 130 venues across Australia.

According to the announcement, the purpose is to capitalise on the online retailing boom by offering an alternative parcel-collection option that fits consumers' schedules.

The lockers will let people pick up parcels after work at petrol stations and convenience stores, so shoppers don’t have to wait at home for a delivery — improving convenience and flexibility for online buyers.

The move signals that TZ Limited is pursuing opportunities in e‑commerce logistics. For investors, it may indicate a strategy to tap growing online retail demand and to build partnerships with retail venues, though specific financial impacts were not detailed in the announcement.

The article notes the lockers provide an alternative by allowing after-work pickup rather than waiting for home delivery; it does not state they will replace home delivery services entirely.

By placing parcel lockers in high‑traffic, easily accessible petrol stations and convenience stores, TZ Limited aims to capture demand from online shoppers who want quick, flexible pickup options instead of waiting at home for deliveries.
