package station
An automated self-service facility for sending and receiving packages through a postal or private delivery network.
A package station is a self-service facility for shipping and receiving packages through a major postal or private delivery system. Users can generally access these around the clock, which can accommodate customers who cannot be home to receive packages or visit a post office during working hours.
Customers use the facility to send or collect packages themselves. The connection with a postal or private delivery system distinguishes it from an ordinary personal storage locker.
Around-the-clock access is common, but individual facilities can have restricted access hours. The self-service sending or collection function remains the defining activity.
