Iceland Post (Pósturinn) expands parcel locker network
Ian Kerr
Pósturinn (Iceland Post) has started expanding its parcel locker network, from eight to almost 40.
The parcel lockers, called Póstbox, are currently all located in the Reykjavík area. The thirty new lockers will be installed around the country.
Of the eight lockers currently deployed, all bar one are accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The remaining locker bank is located in a shopping centre, and is open from 7am to 11pm weekdays and 11am to 11pm on weekends.
Customers are sent an SMS notification and an e-mail with a QR code and PIN when their parcel is ready for collection. To collect, the customer scans the QR code or enters a phone number and PIN.
The maximum weight for parcels delivered to Póstbox lockers is 20kg. There are three compartment sizes:
Small: 8 x 38 x 64 cm
Medium: 19 x 38 x 64 cm
Large: 41 x 38 x 64 cm
Customers must sign up for Iceland Post’s Minn Póstur app to be able to use the lockers as a delivery address.
