What is an Instabox?
An instabox is a red box, which can be found many places around the bigger cities, it is those boxes where the carrier delivers the parcels in, if the customer has chosen ‘delivery to parcelshop’ (Locker Delivery).
When the customer fills out their information in the checkout, including zip code, the customer will have the option to choose the preferred available box that the parcel can be collected from.
The parcel is retrieved with a PIN code, received via SMS by the customer. When the PIN code has been entered to the right box, the parcel can be collected. That is easy and convenient! If the customer is precented to collect the parcel, anyone with the PIN code can act as deputy.
This means that the customers do not have to wait in line in order to collect their parcels, as they collect the parcels from the boxes, whenever they have the time, and they can do it at their own pace, they just need to retrieve the parcel within three days.
The parcel is being stored in the Instaboxes for three days.
If the parcel has not been collected within the deadline, Instabox will store the parcel in their storage room for 10 days before the parcel is being returned. During the 10 days, where the parcel is being stored by Instabox, the customer has the opportunity to book a new Locker Delivery delivery.
