As the holiday season approaches, property managers brace for the annual surge in package deliveries, a trend amplified by Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping sprees. In 2024, U.S. retail sales between Black Friday and Cyber Monday are projected to rise 5% year over year, reaching $75 billion for the first time.
This increase underscores the growing reliance on online shopping, which, while convenient for consumers, presents logistical challenges for multifamily communities.
The Challenge: Managing the Holiday Delivery Surge
The influx of packages during peak shopping periods can overwhelm traditional mailrooms and front desk operations. Without an efficient system, properties may face cluttered common areas, increased staff workload, and potential security concerns. Residents expect timely and secure access to their deliveries, making effective package management crucial for maintaining satisfaction and retention.

You need innovative solutions designed to handle the complexities of modern package management. Luxer One’s smart locker systems provide secure, automated storage for deliveries, ensuring 100% package acceptance.
Residents receive instant notifications and can retrieve their packages at their convenience, reducing the burden on property staff and enhancing the resident experience.
