Amazon has expanded its Locker network to more than 750 locations at colleges and universities across the U.S., giving students a secure and convenient way to receive orders close to where they live and study.
The locations span over 500 campuses nationwide, with some schools offering multiple Locker pickup points. The expanded footprint gives students more options to choose a location that fits their daily routine.
Students can have eligible orders delivered to a campus Locker at no additional cost and pick them up on their own schedule, whether after a study session or between classes the next day.
“College students are constantly on the move, and picking up a package should fit into their day, not the other way around,” said Viraj Chatterjee, VP, Amazon Transportation, in a statement. “Expanding Amazon Locker across college and university campuses nationwide puts secure package pickup directly into the flow of campus life.”
The college Locker locations are part of Amazon’s broader network of more than 25,000 package pickup locations across the U.S.
To use the service, students search by address or ZIP code to find a nearby Locker, add it to their Amazon address book and select it as the delivery location at checkout for eligible orders. Operating hours and directions are available for each location before checkout.
When a package arrives, Amazon sends an email with instructions for opening the Locker using a code, barcode or the Amazon Shopping app. Packages are held for three calendar days; orders not collected in that window are automatically returned and refunded. Students can also forward the delivery confirmation email to someone else to collect the package on their behalf.
The expansion coincides with the latest chapter of Amazon’s Off to College campaign, “The Delivery,” which highlights the reassurance families feel knowing their student is just one delivery away.
