We don't accept packages either. However, there is another consequence to this. We are struggling with people not breaking down their boxes and our trash & recycling bins are frequently exceeding the rim.

Since Covid we are not allowing packages in the office. Everything must be delivered to the door.

Peggy Lannery Crowley COVID19 has forced people who typically eschewed online shopping to embrace it. This is not going to change. Additional accommodations are potentially necessary for increased deliveries of food, groceries and other items. The companies that recognize the changes and adjust accordingly will be stronger than those who choose to see everything as ‘business as normal’. It’s changed, and our industry needs to change with it.

Capacity is the thing...that's always what I wrestled with at my buildings with lockers. With ever-expanding package volumes, can you ever have enough lockers?

I agree with Lisa. With online shopping, there won’t be enough lockers to handle the load. At one community I had, on a regular day, we had over 100 packages easy. November to February upwards of 500-1000 a day. After we sold, the new owners installed lockers. The delivery companies just dump the packages in the foyers now.
