How to Get Your Amazon Package Delivered to an Amazon Locker or Pick-Up Location and Collect It at Your Convenience
If you are unable to receive your Amazon package at your address due to shipping restrictions, you can have it delivered to a local Amazon facility or an authorized pickup location. Here's how to do it:
Create an Amazon Account (If You Don’t Already Have One)
If you don't already have an Amazon account, you need to create one. This step is crucial because you will need to use your account to add items to your cart and proceed to checkout.
Find a Pickup Location
Visit the Amazon website or app. During the checkout process, look for the option to select a delivery address. Choose Amazon Locker or Amazon Hub as your delivery location. You can search for nearby locations by entering your zip code or address.
Place Your Order
Add items to your cart and proceed to checkout. When prompted for the delivery address, select the Amazon Locker or Hub location you found earlier. Complete your order. Once it is placed, your package will be delivered to the selected location.
After the package is delivered, you will receive an email or notification with a pickup code. Go to the location, enter the code at the Amazon Locker or Hub, and retrieve your package.
Additional Tips
Check Availability
Not all items may be eligible for delivery to Amazon Lockers or Hubs. Ensure that your selected items can be shipped to these locations before proceeding.
Pickup Window
Your package will typically need to be picked up within a certain timeframe, usually 3 days. Keep an eye on the email notification for the exact pickup window.
Identification
Some locations may require you to present an ID. Check the specific requirements for your chosen pickup point before you visit.
This method allows you to conveniently collect your package at a location that suits you! The package is delivered by private carriers, and they will not have access to enter even the outer gates of the Amazon premises. Therefore, there is no need for you to worry about security concerns.
What if Your Package Can't Be Delivered to an Amazon Locker or Hub?
Unfortunately, not all Amazon packages are eligible for delivery to Amazon Lockers or Hubs. In such cases, you have a few options:
Amazon India sends you an email with the contact number of the carrier. You can use this information to contact the carrier and arrange for delivery at a time that suits you. Alternatively, you can leave the package with a trusted neighbor or friend. Use a freight forwarder. Freight forwarders will charge a fee, but they can deliver the package to your preferred address. This option is particularly useful if you are away from home or if you have a tight schedule.
By following these steps, you can have your Amazon package delivered to a secure location and ensure that it is collected easily and efficiently.
