Host a Parcel Locker

The huge growth in online shopping means more parcels and packages than ever before are being sent to addresses across the country.

Most parcels get delivered during the day, when many people aren’t home, creating delays and security concerns for customers. To avoid this, many use their place of work as a delivery address, resulting in congested office mailrooms.

The increasing popularity of multi-storey apartment buildings, which hinder front door delivery, also causes delays and security issues. Parcels are often transferred to Australia Post facilities for over-the-counter collection or are left in non-secure mail room facilities.

Our Parcel Lockers are an ideal solution. They can be set up in residential, retail and commercial locations, offering a convenient and secure way for customers to collect and send packages, while reducing mailroom congestion and concierge service requirements.

In the 12 months to October 2019, over 3.2 million parcels were sent to Parcel Lockers – an increase of 31% year on year. Volumes continue to grow, with over 2 million parcels being delivered via Parcel Lockers in the first 6 months of 2020 alone.

There are already over 700 Parcel Lockers in Australia, and we’re planning to install more. A Parcel Locker on your premises will allow your residents, employees or tenants to receive and send parcels securely and conveniently.

1. Anyone can register to use a Parcel Locker for free.
2. When customers order something online, they use their unique Parcel Locker address as their delivery address.
3. They’ll receive an email or SMS when their parcel is ready to pick up and have 48 hours to collect.
4. They use their unique PIN code to securely collect their parcel from the Parcel Locker.
   

Your location needs to be:

• accessible to the public (ideally 24/7)
• close to parking to facilitate easy access for delivery operators and customers
• highly visible and safe
• in an area with good GSM network coverage

• publicly available space large enough for a standard size locker (4760mm wide, 2390mm high and 700mm deep), plus 1500mm clear space to the front of a completed installation. Non-standard locations may also be considered, depending on site specific considerations.
• permission to promote your Parcel Locker location on our website and other marketing communications
