HEATHCOTE Post Office now offers free parcel lockers that allow customers to both send and pick up packages at any time.<\/p>\n
Co-owner Bryan Linnell said the new facility was suitable for almost everybody to use.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re leaving the area to go to work; going early, coming home late, it’s certainly worthwhile thinking about using them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s very simple to operate, once we put the parcel into the locker, the system sends a six-digit code to your mobile phone number.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you come in you scan the QR code, then enter your release code plus your mobile phone number and one of the doors will open.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s a very simple process, if you’ve got any doubts just come into the shop and we’ll go out and show you how it works.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Linnell said there were currently only three to four parcels per day addressed to parcel lockers, but there were more than 60 available for use.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want everyone to experience the joy of parcel lockers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Unlike traditional post office boxes, parcel lockers are used for a single transaction and uncollected items are taken into the shop after 48 hours for collection during business hours.<\/p>\n
Heathcote\u2019s parcel lockers are at the rear of the post office and have security cameras and bright lighting at night.<\/p>\n
A MyPost account is needed to set up a parcel locker address. Visit the Australia Post website for more information or talk to the staff at Heathcote Post Office.<\/p>\n
