FAQs

Anyone that receives packages should register for Parcel Pending. You can have up to 10 people, such as roommates, registered to each account. Alternatively, everyone can have their own account.

We do not charge a “cost per package”; however, each property we partner with has their own set-up and storage (if you exceed the normal pick-up duration) fees. You are able to view these fees on your account portal at my.parcelpending.com.

A valid credit card is required at registration to cover any registration or storage fees that may occur while you use our lockers. Your credit card information is securely stored by a third-party credit card processing company; this process is PCI compliant. We do not store your credit card information.

Every Parcel Pending account must have a valid credit card on file. There can be multiple accounts associated with a single apartment (e.g. roommates). However, if there are multiple people on a single account, there only needs to be one credit card on file.

Parcel Pending uses an independent data security services provider, Authorize.net, to process all credit card transactions. Parcel Pending does not process or retain your credit card data. The process used to capture and store credit card data is PCI compliant.

Log into your account at my.parcelpending.com and select the option to close your account. Please note that, by closing your account, you may not receive all of the packages that are sent to you and you may need to make arrangements with another delivery service.

You will receive a delivery notification via text, email, or app notification that contains a unique access code. Once you have an access code:

  1. Go to the lockers indicated in your notification.
  2. Press the orange “Parcel Pick-Up” button on the kiosk touchscreen.
  3. Enter the 6-digit access code provided in your delivery notification.
  4. Retrieve your package from the locker once it opens.

If your package will be in the locker long enough to incur storage fees and you don’t wish to be charged:

  1. Provide your access code to someone you trust and have them pick up your package for you.
  2. Login to your Parcel Pending account and set up Vacation mode (see “What should I do if I go on vacation?”).
  3. Call us at (855) 316-4756. We can help set your account to Vacation mode.
  1. Sign into your account at parcelpending.com.
  2. Click on the “Vacation” tab.
  3. Select “Vacation” and press enter.
  4. Enter the dates you will be out of town. Please pick up your package by 11:59 PM on the day after your return date to avoid incurring storage fees.

You will receive a delivery notification (text, email, or app notification) with information on how to pick up your oversized package. Depending on your community’s policies, the package could either be at the on-site management office or at the courier’s local delivery hub.

There are two ways to access your package if you accidentally delete your access code notification:

  1. Login to your account at parcelpending.com and view your “Parcel History” page to view the access code for your delivery.
  2. Contact Parcel Pending at help@parcelpending.com or (855) 316-4756 and we can provide you with your access code.

Check in with your property’s management team, as every property and courier have a different procedure. Some couriers will return the package back to their “hub” and attempt to re-deliver at a later date, while others will “return to sender”. Be sure to sign up for Parcel Pending as soon as possible so you can easily receive your packages.

Your property may or may not have refrigerated lockers. If it does, and if your package indicates that it contains perishables, your package will be delivered to a refrigerated locker. If not, you should pick up your package as soon as you receive the delivery notification.

You can change your locker preferences at my.parcelpending.com to ensure your packages are delivered to lockers 4 feet from the ground or lower. Couriers are notified of this preference, and our system will automatically select lockers that meet your preferences for your packages.

Please log into your account at my.parcelpending.com and confirm:

  1. You have an active account set up or the primary resident for your unit has you registered on their account.
  2. Your email address, telephone number and/or mobile phone number are correct.

If this information is correct and you are still not receiving notifications, please contact us at help@parcelpending.com or (855) 316-4756.

There are two ways to access your package if you accidentally delete your access code notification:

  1. Login to your account at parcelpending.com and view your “Parcel History” page to view the access code for your delivery.
  2. Contact Parcel Pending at help@parcelpending.com or (855) 316-4756 and we can provide you with your access code.
  1. Press the “Back” button to return to the start screen. If your property has multiple kiosks, please ensure you’re at the correct kiosk (this information will be in your delivery notification, e.g. Kiosk A, Kiosk B, etc.).
  2. Press the “Parcel Pick-up” button.
  3. Enter your 6-digit access code.
  4. If you are still receiving an Invalid Code error, make sure you are not using an old code that was already used to retrieve a different package.
  5. If you are still unable to access your package, contact us at (855) 316-4756.

Please contact us at (855) 316-4756 or email us at help@parcelpending.com. We can reset your access code so you can retrieve your package from the locker.

  1. Check to see if your package was delivered to your apartment.
  2. Check your mailbox.
  3. If you received 2 codes, try using both access codes. Sometimes, a courier selects a locker that is too small for your package and then places your package in a larger locker. If this is the case, you may receive two notifications.
  4. Contact us at (855) 316-4756 and we’ll look into your situation.

This likely means that your package is too large for the locker. If this happens, please stay near the lockers and call us at (855) 316-4756 so we can open the locker door remotely. You can also ask your property management team to manually open the door with a key.

Please notify your property management team or contact Parcel Pending at (855) 316-4756.

What I love most about using a Parcel Pending smart locker is the convenience. Everything is in one place, and you get a friendly reminder if you haven’t picked up your packages – which is so helpful with my work schedule.

If I had a word to describe Parcel Pending, it would be life-saving. Why? Because it’s quick, convenient, and the customer service has been amazing.

Not only are these lockers great in general but the support level from Parcel Pending is outstanding. […] I’m very glad we have these as they offer great security and are temperature-controlled.
