What is a delivery pickup PIN?
The delivery pickup PIN feature is used with our package room to enhance package retrieval security. After a delivery driver completes a package delivery, your resident will receive a one-time use PIN code via email or SMS. Then, they will access your building’s package room and pick up their delivery with this code, ensuring that only residents with a delivery can pick up packages.
Benefits of a delivery pickup PIN:
- Enhanced convenience for residents
- Improved package room security
How do delivery pickup PINs work?
The delivery driver drops off the package
At the package room, the delivery drivers will use a delivery PIN obtained from the property or a delivery pass provided by the resident. Then, they will select each resident on the package room panel to notify and indicate the number of packages received. This action will notify the residents that their package has arrived.
The resident picks up the package
Once the delivery driver drops off the package, the resident receives a notification through email or SMS with a one-time use code. The delivery pickup PIN code remains valid for 72 hours. During that time, the resident can use it to access the package room.
