So i've just gone to buy something from Target and have it shipped out and of course they're now saying they won't ship to Parcel Lockers, which is new, since my default address is even set to a Parcel Locker from before!
Why does it feel like more and more stores are just not shipping to them anymore? Despite usually using Australia Post to ship anyway. Sometimes you can sneak around by putting GPO locker but most of the time not. Since i'm in an apartment and there are usually package thieves roaming the streets, i don't really trust mail coming to my building and waiting around til i get home, so i always aim to have it sent to a locker. Yet i'm stuck waiting an extra 2 days waiting for the parcel to get redirected in the system.
So what's going on, is it not secure for stores to ship to lockers as well or something?
Edit: Just to clarify, i'm very aware the lockers are AusPost only, i'm not expecting other Courier companies to use them. I generally don't order at a store that doesn't use AusPost to begin with.
They probably have had too many issues with parcel lockers and so have decided not to include them.
The locker might work for small items, but surely Target also sell large or bulky items. My guess is that their system is unable to determine if the size of the parcel will fit in the parcel locker, and so it's probably easier to remove it as a postage option.
I forget what the service is called, but I have had a few parcels delivered directly to my LPO for collection. When I collect them, the parcel is address to me (name) but with the address of the LPO. Only downside is that the item can only be collected during open hours.
