A better way to collect, send and return parcels

Growth in eCommerce and online shopping means parcels are being delivered like never before.

However, traditional parcel delivery doesn’t fit every situation. Collection during the day, mailroom congestion, access to apartment buildings and limits to leaving parcels in a safe place can cause delays and security issues.

That’s where Parcel Lockers can help.

  • Improved delivery security
  • Reduced need for mailroom/concierge services
  • Suitable for public or exclusive private (residential)1 access
  • We install and maintain Parcel Lockers for free
  • Accepts Australia Post and StarTrack parcels2

Where can Parcel Lockers go?

Apartments and residential buildings - Gain a competitive advantage over other buildings and offer improved parcel security, plus the option to service residents only.

Parcel Lockers private (apartment) location requirements

The location should be:

  • accessible only to residents
  • close to the building’s mailroom to facilitate easy access for delivery operators and residents
  • highly visible and safe
  • in an area with good 4G mobile network coverage
  • on a level and stable surface.
