Handling the influx of package deliveries efficiently and securely is one of the growing challenges for property managers worldwide. As online shopping continues to surge, the need for reliable package management solutions is more critical than ever. At Luxer One, we understand the intricacies of property management and the importance of making informed decisions. Here are key factors property managers should consider when choosing package delivery locker management solutions.
1. Value vs Price
The old adage, "You get what you pay for," rings particularly true in the realm of package delivery lockers. It may be tempting to pick the cheapest option, but it's important to think about the value it offers.
While cheaper lockers may seem like a good deal, they often have less security, less space, and less than optimal customer service. Some smart locker companies may offer lower prices at the cost of surveillance options, quality customer service, and/or optimal capacity capabilities.
When selecting a locker solution, consider its strength, security, ease of use, and level of customer support. A high-quality locker makes it easy and safe to get packages, saving time and trouble in the future.
Investing in a higher-quality locker may cost more upfront, but it can ultimately save you time, money, and stress in the long term. Ensuring a superior user experience ultimately reduces costs and headaches down the line.
2. Capacity Ratio
Optimization of space is key to facilitating successful and efficient deliveries. According to Luxer One's customer data, the optimal storage compartment to unit ratio should be at least 40-50% capacity. This set-up for the locker systems will ensure successful and efficient deliveries.
A well-designed solution maximizes the number of packages that can fit in the available space. By optimizing space, you can meet the needs of your community without requiring excessive floor space.
3. Total Cost of Ownership
Understanding the total cost of ownership (TCO) is crucial when making purchasing decisions. This goes beyond just looking at the initial purchase price of your package management solution of choice.
You must consider all the costs associated with owning and using the product or service over its entire lifespan. This includes installation costs, maintenance expenses, software updates, monthly fees, and potential replacement costs.
At Luxer One we believe that designing solutions with longevity and minimal maintenance in mind is key to ensuring an ideal TCO. This approach provides a cost-effective option that stands the test of time.
4. Quality
When considering long-term solutions, it is important to prioritize quality over all else. High-quality lockers are essential for ensuring durability and longevity, as well as providing a superior user experience.
Lockers made from strong materials like steel or aluminum are less likely to wear out or break. Additionally, lockers with reinforced hinges and latches are less susceptible to tampering or forced entry.
Advanced security features are also crucial when choosing lockers for long-term use. Look for lockers with secure locking mechanisms such as electronic keypads, biometric scanners, or RFID technology. These features not only provide added security for users' belongings but also help prevent theft and unauthorized access.
User-friendly interfaces are another important factor to consider when selecting high-quality lockers. Find lockers that are easy to use, with clear labels, smooth opening and closing, and optimized storage space. Easy-to-use lockers enhance user experience and reduce errors or damage to the locker.
Investing in high-quality lockers can ensure that your lockers will last for years to come and provide a positive experience for users. Luxer One understands that prioritizing quality in our products like our 12-gauge steel lockers brings property managers like you peace of mind.
5. Client and Resident Support
As a property manager you know that exceptional support makes all the difference.

Connect with trusted property managers who use the solutions you are considering and ask about their experiences.
