    Will there ever be a time I can return items using the locker?

    Yes. I just returned an Amazon purchase to one of the lockers in Austin TX. I just scanned the bar code on the return label and a door popped open to insert my box. It was very easy.

    I have a package to return and have printed a return label, but the label says my locker reservation is only guaranteed until a certain date. I am worried that when I get there, the locker will not open. How can I tell if the pin is still active?

  • Question
    Are Amazon lockers temperature controlled?
    Community Answer
    You can look up the location and normally call the store it’s located at to find out if it is indoors or outside. Inside ones would be that room’s ambient temperature. But the lockers themselves have no temperature control, so outside, the lockers could be upwards of 105°F, such as in Texas.
  • Question
    Do I have to enter both codes to indicate that I have picked up both items in the same Amazon locker?
    Community Answer
    No. One code opens one locker. The delivery email should only have one code for each locker. If you have multiple boxes in one order, they each come in separate lockers.
  • Question
    Is it exactly 72 hours I can pick up an item from an Amazon Locker?

    It is whenever the delivery driver stops there next, after it has been three days. You’ll get an email almost immediately, when it’s returned.
  • Question
    How do I get the code to retrieve my parcel on my Amazon locker?
    Community Answer
    A barcode for scanning (and number-code for manually entering the code instead) will be in the delivery email that is sent to the email address on the purchaser’s account. It will not be in the order confirmation email. They don’t have the information to pass on to you until the package has been delivered. So, watch for the delivery email.
  • Question
    What is the size of an Amazon locker?
    Community Answer
    They are different sizes, but none are giant. Think of the old bus/train station lockers (where you took the pull out key with you). They are about those sizes. There are helpful image examples you can check out on Google Images that would give you a clear idea.
