The operation of the ‘Women’s Safe Parcel Lockers,’ part of the Gangdong-gu Women-Friendly City project, is a service that allows residents who have difficulty receiving parcels due to busy work lives, such as single-woman households and dual-income couples, to pick up their parcels anytime 24/7, 365 days a year, through parcel lockers near their homes.
Gangdong-gu started the ‘Women’s Safe Parcel Lockers’ in 2013 by installing three locations to prevent crimes targeting women disguised as parcel delivery workers. Currently, a total of 14 locations are operated, including seven in Amsa-dong and two in Myeongil-dong.
Last year, the number of uses reached 49,686, with the number of people using the parcel lockers steadily increasing every year.
The usage method for the Women’s Safe Parcel Lockers is as follows: when purchasing goods online, select a Women’s Safe Parcel Locker near your home as the delivery destination. When the delivery worker stores the parcel in the locker, an authentication code is sent to the applicant’s mobile phone.
The user enters the received authentication code into the parcel locker to receive the goods. Anyone in the community can use the service, and it is free for 48 hours. If the parcel is kept longer than 48 hours, a late fee of 1,000 KRW per day will be charged, so users should be aware of this.
