Amazon: putting “secure package pickup directly into the flow of campus life”
Amazon has expanded its Locker network to over 750 locations at colleges and universities across the U.S., giving more students than ever a secure and convenient way to receive Amazon orders close to where they live and study.
These locations span over 500 campuses nationwide, with some colleges and universities offering multiple Locker pickup points. The expanded footprint gives students more options to choose a location that fits into the rhythm of their day.
Students can have eligible orders delivered to a campus Locker at no additional cost and pick them up on their schedule—whether that’s after a long study session or between classes the next day.
“College students are constantly on the move, and picking up a package should fit into their day—not the other way around,” said Viraj Chatterjee, Vice President, Amazon Transportation. “Expanding Amazon Locker across college and university campuses nationwide puts secure package pickup directly into the flow of campus life.”
These Amazon Locker locations are part of Amazon’s broader network of more than 25,000 package pickup locations across the U.S.
Using Amazon Locker takes just a few steps. Students can search by address or ZIP code to find a nearby Locker, add it to their Amazon address book, and select it as the delivery location at checkout for eligible orders. They can also review the operating hours and directions for each location before choosing the Locker that works best for them.
When a package arrives, Amazon sends an email with instructions for opening the Locker using a code, barcode, or the Amazon Shopping app. Packages are held for three calendar days, and orders that aren’t collected during that window are automatically returned and refunded.
Students can have someone else collect their package by forwarding that person the delivery confirmation email and pickup instructions.
