Unloading parcels from Pack-city lockers

6.1

There are 3 cases where the mailroom user should unload parcels from Packcity lockers:

• Expired parcelsWhen recipient did not collect their parcel and the time limit to pickup a parcel hasran out, then the mailroom agent should unload the parcel from the locker.

• Dropped parcelsCarrier has left a parcel in a locker to be picked up by mailroom.

• Blocked parcelsFor security reasons or due to an error, recipient should not be permitted to pick uphis parcel.

When the mailroom user launches this action from “Operator Home” page, the Packcitysystem will start the unloading process from the first box on the top left-corner to the lastbox on bottom right by opening boxes one by one. The user can follow the process on thescreen to view the next box to be opened and can report a problem if a box did not openas expected. Once all boxes containing parcels to be unloaded are empty, the mailroomuser will return to the “Operator Home” page.
