Pick-up box

Pick-up box

Have your items be there even when you are gone!

The pick-up box enables the delivery of parcels, letters and registered mail* directly at the recipient’s place of residence.
The delivery agent places the shipment in the pick-up box and notifies the recipient accordingly. The addressee will then retrieve the notification from the letterbox and use it to open the pick-up box.

To keep the cost low, we recommend installing one Austrian Post pick-up box for every 12 households. Our L-Plus box fits approximately 93% of all items. For the remaining 7%, the item is either too large or subject to a fee such as customs. In such cases, your item will be available for pickup at your postal service location.

**) Use cannot be limited to specific addressees. With the pick-up box, Austrian Post can deliver mail to all residents who live where the collection box has been installed (e.g., house, staircase). 

1. Press the bar code on the notification firmly against the button until the mechanism unlocks.
2. Open the pick-up box and immediately retrieve your item!
3. Place the notification card inside the pick-up box.
4. Close the pick-up box.

Eligible items
Parcels and letters (no RSa and RSb items)

Important information
After opening the pick-up box, the item must be retrieved. For security reasons, it cannot be opened once again at a later point.

 

Our pick-up boxes are equipped with several security features. Here are some of them:

• Pick-up boxes are only used for one addressee at a time. This ensures that nobody but you will have access to your item.
• Pick-up boxes have an encrypted security system that relies on RFID.
• Items can only be collected after the notification by the delivery person has triggered the process.
• Pick-up boxes are made of highly sturdy steel and are firmly screwed to the surface underneath. Breaking into them is pointless.
• Pick-up boxes are child-proof and can be used by visually impaired persons.

 

  • Receive items 24/7
  • No more trips to the postal branch
  • No waiting
  • Opening hours are no longer an issue
  • Fastest option for receiving items when you are gone
  • The Austrian Post pick-up box can be used by all staircase residents (no limitation to specific residents)

Several models of our pick-up boxes are available, depending on where they will be installed. Different sizes and colour are also available.

Available options depending on the location:

  • Indoors (preferrably stairwells)
  • Outdoors (covered and non-covered lobbies)

Available colours:

  • White
  • Gray

How much does the pick-up box cost?
Example: 20 households on the same staircase team up to buy a pick-up box "L" for indoors at 209 euros.
One-time cost per household: EUR 10.45 euros!

Our pick-up boxes are battery-powered and therefore need no additional connections. Batteries will be changed by Austrian Post as needed.

When placing your order, please indicate a contact person who will be on site and who can be contacted by our installation team. After we have received your payment, we will get in touch with the contact person to schedule an appointment. Your pick-up box will be ready for use as soon as it has been installed.
