Community staff should engage couriers and provide delivery codes along with a courier guide.
Couriers have now the ability to log packages at the kiosk by using Easy Delivery feature during drop-off. This process does not require delivery codes. When Easy Delivery is selected, the driver is presented with a list of pre-configured courier names (e.g., Amazon, FedEx, USPS, UPS, DHL) for that device. They simply choose their company (or “others”) and proceed with the load process – no need to enter or remember a code.
The Property Manager Exchange is a convenient feature available on the kiosk screen that allows property managers and staff to securely exchange items—such as keys, documents, or other small items—with third-party vendors who are not registered for the service.
Amazon: Contact Amazon Property Management at 844-370-7615 or amzl-address-information@amazon.com, providing shipping label photos.
UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL, or other couriers: Send shipping label photos (with visible tracking info) to your Customer Success Manager. Ensure the resident has an active Parcel Pending PLUS account.
Tips for Residents: Encourage residents to provide specific delivery instructions when ordering online:
Amazon: Add instructions via “Account” > “Your Address” > “Add Delivery Instructions.”
UPS: Sign up for UPS MyChoice.
FedEx: Use FedEx Delivery Manager.

Property management should provide you with a courier access code for the Parcel Pending locker system. If no onsite management is available, please contact our customer service team at (866) 354-7492. Couriers can also deliver packages by using “Easy Delivery” button, which does not require any access codes.
The scanner captures the package tracking number for the resident’s parcel history. This assists the residents in tracking their deliveries.
Use the “skip scan” button in the lower right corner of the screen and select the resident and locker size as needed to complete delivery.
Check in with property management, if possible. If there is no one on-site, please attempt to deliver the package(s) to the resident’s door.
Please select the next locker door size up. If there is no larger size available, please consider this package delivery “oversized” and follow the property’s instructions for oversized packages.

If the door does not open, select “no” when the kiosk screen asks if the package was delivered. Re-attempt delivery to the same size locker. If the locker door still does not open or there are no other lockers available, proceed to the on-site management office. Notify property staff of the issue(s) experienced and ask for further instructions.
If a package is already inside when the locker door opens, close the locker door. When the kiosk prompt asks if the package was delivered, select “no” and re-attempt delivery for the same size locker. If no lockers are available or the same issue occurs, proceed to the on-site management office, and notify staff of the issue(s) experienced. Ask the staff for further instructions.
Yes, this is possible under specific conditions. If a resident already has a package in the locker system that was delivered by a particular carrier, the same carrier can reopen the occupied locker to deliver an additional item for that resident. This functionality ensures a seamless and efficient delivery process, provided the same carrier is handling the subsequent delivery for the same recipient.
The admin portal provides tools to manage lockers, track deliveries, monitor locker usage, and generate reports like expired parcels and delivery stats.
The admin code is a confidential 6-digit code that allows community staff to manage the locker system via the kiosk screen. With this code, you can:
- Remove expired parcels (over 8 days) via the “Unload” menu to improve locker capacity.
- Assist residents with package pickup through the “Assisted Pickup” menu.
- Open, deactivate, or reactivate locker doors via the “Technician Menu” > “Boxes Management.”
Use your admin code provided during the Launch or Onboarding phase:
- Access the kiosk and open the “Operator Home” menu.
- Select “Assisted Pickup” and search for the resident.
- Remove the package using this feature, which automatically clears the notification and locker door.
A package left in the locker system for more than 8 days is considered expired.
- For previous residents: Return the package to the sender.
- For current residents: Redeliver the package using delivery code 233890.
Regularly manage expired parcels via the kiosk to optimize locker usage.
- Use your admin code to access the kiosk screen.
