| Parcel lockers and parcel postbox | |

| Status: | Draft (under way) |

Proposal
Parcel lockers
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
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
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).
Tagging
Useful combination
- name=*
- operator=*: name of the company that operates the parcel lockers or the parcel postbox (e.g. Australia Post)
- opening_hours=*: hours when the parcel lockers are accessible (e.g. 24/7)
- collection_times=*: the times at which parcels are collected (e.g. Mo-Sa 12:00)
- parcel_lockers:type=cabinet or parcel_lockers:type=circular
- surveillance=outdoor: if this amenity is monitored by surveillance camera(s)
Comparison of current and proposed tagging
| Object | Current tagging | Proposed tagging |
|---|---|---|
| Parcel lockers with possibility to receive but not to send parcels | amenity=vending_machine + vending=parcel_pickup | amenity=parcel_lockers + parcel_receiving=yes + parcel_sending=no |
| Parcel lockers with possibility to receive and send parcels | amenity=vending_machine + vending=parcel_pickup;parcel_mail_in | amenity=parcel_lockers + parcel_receiving=yes + parcel_sending=yes |
| Parcel lockers with possibility to send but not to receive parcels | amenity=vending_machine + vending=parcel_mail_in | amenity=parcel_lockers + parcel_receiving=no + parcel_sending=yes |
| A parcel postbox | amenity=vending_machine + vending=parcel_mail_in | amenity=parcel_postbox (parcel_receiving=no not required because inherent) |
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.

Changing locations of some posting boxes
Where's My Nearest Postbox
Mail volumes have been declining in New Zealand and we're making changes to posting box locations as a result. We are closing some posting boxes. If this is the case, signage is placed on the posting box for a minimum of four weeks advising of our intention for its removal. We invite you to contact us if you have concerns. Consideration is also given to the amount of mail received by the posting box for four to six weeks prior to its closure.
How Do I Find My Nearest Postbox
We're also locating our posting boxes in shopping malls. They are generally cleared later in the day than most suburban boxes, meaning you can post mail later and it's still processed on the same day.
We'd love your feedback to help us improve our website.
