How do I use the Picapac parcel locker?

 

 

Using the Picapac parcel locker is incredibly easy. Here are the main things to keep in mind: use a courier service for home delivery—it doesn’t matter which one you choose—because all couriers can drop off packages at the parcel locker, since the compartments are open and empty!

 

"Open" means that empty compartments must be left unlocked so that couriers can place packages inside. Couriers cannot open the compartments without knowing the PIN code. After placing a package, couriers will lock the specific compartment, and the package will remain safely waiting for you! Once you’ve retrieved your package from the parcel locker, leave the compartment unlocked again so that future couriers can deliver packages there.

 

1. Shop at any online store. If a friend or acquaintance is picking up the package for you, skip to step 3.

2. Have your package delivered to your home. To do this, use the “Home Delivery” service and note in the comments field that you have a Picapac parcel locker. Some online stores also offer a separate “Order goods to a personal parcel locker” (Selver) option. Note: Goods ordered to a regular parcel locker will not be delivered to the locker.

4. Open the parcel locker and retrieve your package. You can unlock a locked compartment using your PIN or via SMS. Leave the compartment in the “open” position so that couriers can add subsequent packages to it!

 

 

The parcel locker number is the number from which the user receives a message when the locker is locked. By sending an SMS to that same number, you can unlock the parcel locker remotely and reset the PIN code. 

“Open”= Unlocks all locks on the locked compartment of the parcel locker. For the compartments to open, the top cover of the parcel locker must be open. If the top cover of the parcel locker is closed at the time the message is sent, the locks will open the next time the parcel locker is opened.

 

“Pin”= Restarting the parcel locker, which means all codes are deleted. There are no longer any shipping codes, and the default PIN is 0000. 

 

 

1. Press “#” on the PIN pad and enter a valid PIN code (after installation, a controller replacement, or a restart, the default code is 0000). 

2. After three short beeps, enter a new 4-digit PIN. 

3. The parcel locker will then beep once more, and your PIN has been changed.

 

Sending a text message with the word “Pin” from the recipient’s phone to the parcel locker will reset the locker’s PIN code to its default setting, which is 0000. 

 

 

When you enter the 4-digit unique PIN, the fields will open automatically. This way, anyone who knows the PIN can access the fields. 

 

Sending a text message with the word “Open” from the owner’s phone to the parcel locker will unlock all the locks on the locker. Remote unlocking can only be performed from the owner’s phone. The owner’s phone number is stored in the software to ensure secure parcel delivery. For the compartments to open, the top cover of the parcel locker must be open. If the top cover is closed when the message is sent, the locks will open the next time the parcel locker is opened. The message is stored for at least 2 days.

 

 

When a courier or another person delivering a package locks the locker, the owner is immediately notified via text message. The message also includes information about the size of the locker that was locked (S, M, or L). Example message: “L. Delivery.”

 

With average use, the battery lasts at least a year. The Picapac service fee includes an annual battery replacement, so users don’t have to worry about it. We monitor the battery remotely and replace it immediately when it runs out. 

 

As an additional service, you can also send packages via a Picapac parcel locker, even if you’re not at home. To do this, you need to schedule a pickup at your home and enter a code in the parcel locker’s designated slot, which the courier or a friend can use to retrieve the package. Here’s how to enter a specific code for a particular slot:

1. Press the star key on the PIN pad, and the parcel locker will beep twice.

2. Enter the same 4-digit code that you provided to the courier company.

4. Select the appropriate compartment for the package, place the package in the compartment, and lock the compartment.

5. You will also receive a confirmation message indicating that the process was successful (example message: “Sending parcel from box: L. PIN code: 1111”).

 

The courier can then use that same code to open the locker and deliver the package to its destination. You’ll receive one final text message once the courier has entered the 4-digit PIN code (example message: “Courier has taken parcel from box: L”).

 

The PIN code assigned to a cell remains in effect until a new PIN code is set for that cell, the master code is changed, or the system is reset. All cell codes, as well as the master code, can be changed:

 

 

1. By pressing “#”

2. Enter a valid general code

3. Enter a new or the same old general code.

4. Now the code has been cleared from all fields, and the last code you entered is the default.

Sending a text message with the word “Pin” from the owner’s phone will reset the parcel locker’s PIN code to its default setting, which is 0000.
