Multifamily property managers are facing two critical challenges: managing the ever-increasing volume of packages and finding ways to generate new revenue streams—all while working with limited budgets. With budget season in full swing and holiday package piles on the horizon it’s no wonder this issue is at the forefront of our minds.

The Growing Package Problem

More residents than ever shopping online and package delivery has become a logistical nightmare for many property managers. Piles of boxes can clutter lobbies, overwhelm leasing offices, and frustrate residents if their deliveries aren’t properly secured or managed.

Manual package handling is time-consuming, error-prone, and takes valuable time away from your team’s more critical responsibilities. Not to mention, improperly stored packages can result in theft or damage, leading to dissatisfied tenants.

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.
