Parcel Pending

The app sends an instant notification to your phone as soon as a package is scanned into the locker. This eliminates the guesswork of wondering if a delivery was made or lost, and you can head straight to the lockers to retrieve it.

Yes, Parcel Pending has a household feature that lets you add family members or roommates. Once added, anyone in your household can open the locker with their own app, so you don’t have to forward emails or share codes.

If a package is oversized, the app will still say it’s ready, but the locker won’t open. You’ll need to pick it up from the leasing office instead. To avoid confusion, check the app for any notes or contact your property manager in advance about large deliveries.

Occasionally, notifications can arrive an hour or two late, which might be due to network or scanning delays. If this happens regularly, try refreshing the app or checking with your property’s staff to ensure the system is syncing properly.

Parcel Pending is simpler and more family-friendly than Amazon Hub, especially with its one-tap phone unlock and household sharing. However, Amazon Hub handles oversized packages more clearly by noting alternative pickup locations in the alert, while Parcel Pending sometimes leaves you guessing.
