    You'll get a delivery notice when your package arrives at your locker location. This notice will have the code you need to access your package at the locker. [2]

    The lockers are usually fairly close to the entrance, but if you can't find them, ask a store employee.

  • Question
    Will there ever be a time I can return items using the locker?
    Community Answer
    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.
