Parcel Postbox Near Me



If you enter a shipping address near a parcel box, you can select 'pakkeboks' (parcel box) as the delivery option in the online store. In some cases, the options will be presented to you as a list, but in some online stores you will need to find a button that says 'change delivery location' or similar. Note that not all online stores offer an optional delivery point. Feel free to encourage stores you shop at to add this delivery option if you wish to have a choice about this.

Proposal

Parcel lockers

Near
Parcel lockers by Australia Post

Parcel lockers (also called parcel terminals, parcel stations or parcel machines) are electrical machines with lockers for picking-up parcels. They allow for interaction with the customers, usually by a touchscreen. Some parcel lockers also allow for sending parcels or to be used as ordinary lockers.

A new tag amenity=parcel_lockers is introduced for parcel lockers together with the complementing tags parcel_receiving=yes/no, parcel_sending=yes/no, letter_receiving=yes/no and letter_sending=yes/no to indicate whether parcel lockers can be used to receive and send parcels and letters respectively.

Parcel postbox

Parcel postbox by FedEx

A parcel postbox (also called parcel drop box) is a box for depositing outgoing parcels (very similar to an ordinary amenity=post_box, but larger).

A new tag amenity=parcel_postbox is introduced for parcel postboxes.

Rationale

Near

Parcel lockers and parcel postboxes are currently both tagged amenity=vending_machine even though they are two different objects. Besides, both of them aren't vending machines (i.e. an automatic machines that accepts money and dispense merchandise).

Open questions

  • How to tag Amazon Lockers? These parcel lockers only allow to return parcels (purchases) to Amazon, but not to any addressee. Maybe parcel_sending=returns_only?
  • Are there any other parcel lockers apart from Amazon Lockers that only allow to receive but not to send parcels? Otherwise, receiving and sending could be defined as standard for all amenity=parcel_lockers.
