Campus & Citywide Expansion: How to Deliver to New Amazon Lockers Rolling out in 2026
By Maya Lin-Takahashi
Q1: Can someone else pick up my package from an Amazon Locker for me?
A1: Yes. Forward your delivery confirmation email containing the 6-digit pickup code and barcode to a trusted friend or family member. Anyone carrying that code or barcode can access the kiosk. However, if the site relies purely on Amazon app Bluetooth pickup, they must be signed into your Amazon account on their mobile device or you must coordinate pickup through Amazon's shared-access settings.
Q2: Why does an Amazon Locker appear grayed out or unavailable at checkout?
A2: Lockers become unavailable for three reasons: every bay is currently reserved by inbound deliveries, the merchandise in your shopping cart exceeds the 10-pound weight or 16 x 12 x 14-inch dimensional cap, or the item ships from a non-FBA third-party merchant using an unsupported postal carrier.
Q3: Does delivering to an Amazon Locker cost extra if I do not have Prime?
A3: No. Selecting an Amazon Locker incurs no hidden location surcharges. Standard shipping fee rules apply: it is free for Amazon Prime members and free for non-Prime shoppers whose total cart value clears the platform's standard free-shipping threshold.
