The Locker, therefore, is nothing more than a set of wardrobes which is usually found inside a supermarket or a shopping center, whose opening hours it respects but which is in no way connected to it ( we will not have to pay anything to anyone and the wardrobes are sealed as safes to prevent theft).

How to collect a parcel in an Amazon Locker

When the package is ready and has been brought by the courier in the Amazon Locker box that we had selected, you will receive an email with a barcode (or in some cases a link to generate a code when you arrive in front of the Locker ): this code corresponds to the locker in which our package was kept. Going to the address of the selected Locker, you will find the Amazon lockers and you can scan the code using the display in the center which contains a barcode scanner.
Alternatively, we can manually enter the pick-up code on the display, so as to unlock the relevant box assigned for our order.

As soon as the code is recognized, the locker in which our parcel is located will open immediately and it will be possible to collect the parcel and close the door. There is no need to look for the right safe or record special data to collect the parcel from Amazon Locker, just scan the code printed or displayed on the phone screen.

How to return a product or package with Amazon Locker

If you need to make a return and want to take advantage of the Amazon Locker, after completing the online return procedure, we will simply have to print or mark the code to be used in the Locker in order to assign a box suitable for the size of our package (we recommend always use the original Amazon parcels, since the dimensions of the Locker drawers are standardized on them).

Armed with code and parcel, go to the Locker, scan or manually enter the code to open an empty drawer of the appropriate size, position the parcel inside and close it. We will not have to do anything else: Amazon will initiate the return by taking the package from the chosen Locker and will proceed with the refund as soon as the package reaches the sorting center (often returns are immediately reimbursed already during the trip).
