How to Solve Carrier Compliance Issues for Multifamily Deliveries

It’s no secret that multifamily communities are seeing more package deliveries than ever before. With that surge comes an equally pressing challenge with carrier compliance. Ensuring that delivery drivers properly use the property’s package management system can feel like an uphill battle. When deliveries bypass the process, whether due to skipped scans, incorrect locker use, or packages left outside secure areas, property teams are left to pick up the slack.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. The disconnect between carriers and property technology is one of the most persistent operational issues in multifamily housing. But the good news? There are practical steps you can take to ease the burden and tools designed to solve your carrier compliance issues.

Why Carrier Compliance Breaks Down

Even the best-designed package system can fall short if carriers don’t use it correctly. Here are just a few of the issues we hear about most:

Packages dropped outside the system: Drivers leave items at leasing offices, in lobbies, or in front of lockers when they can’t (or won’t) access the right tools.
Missed scans or wrong locker usage: Residents don’t get notifications, staff can’t track deliveries, and frustration builds.
Overflow and disorganization: If lockers or rooms aren’t ready for incoming deliveries, carriers may give up and drop packages wherever space allows.
Staff picking up the slack: On-site teams spend hours tracking down misplaced packages, answering resident complaints, and manually processing deliveries.

3 Simple Ways to Improve Carrier Compliance

There are a few simple steps to take to help with your current carrier compliance issues before making any drastic changes to your system. These tips can improve carrier behavior with minimal cost or disruption:

1. Post Clear Delivery Instructions

Ensure that all delivery points, lockers, rooms, and entrances, have visible, easy-to-follow signage. Include system login steps and a contact number for help. Even seasoned drivers benefit from reminders.

2. Build Relationships with Regular Drivers

A quick conversation with your USPS, FedEx, UPS, and Amazon drivers can go a long way. Get to know your regular delivery drivers, their typical schedule, and make yourself a familiar face. This helps provide you the opportunity to give them friendly reminders and even get to know what would help them with successful deliveries.

3. Audit Your Package Areas Regularly

Is your locker system full? Is the package room chaotic? A cluttered or overloaded system can drive carriers to take shortcuts. Regular audits ensure you have space and that the area is inviting and easy to use.

How Luxer One Helps Keep Carriers on Track

While signage and staff support are important, technology plays a vital role in keeping delivery workflows smooth. Here’s how Luxer One helps communities eliminate delivery headaches:

Smart Scanning with OCR Technology

Our optical character recognition (OCR) tech reads shipping labels instantly: no manual entry required. Carriers simply hold the package up to the camera and Ai-powered technology scans the label to begin. This speeds up the delivery process and ensures packages are logged correctly every time.

Training Tools for Every Carrier

We offer a library of carrier training videos and materials to help drivers learn how to use the Luxer One system quickly and accurately. These tools are accessible online and updated as needed.

Onsite Support with Luxer Liaison

Still facing issues? Our Luxer Liaison service provides dedicated support to your property. From assisting carriers to auditing package flows, our Liaison helps bridge the gap between people and process.

The Bottom Line: Delivery Compliance Is a Team Effort

Improving delivery reliability isn’t just about technology; it’s about communication, consistency, and giving carriers the tools they need to succeed. With the right mix of operational habits and smart solutions, you can reduce staff burden, improve resident satisfaction, and bring order back to your package management process.

What’s the Difference Between Electronic and Smart Lockers?

If you’re researching package management solutions, you’ve likely come across both electronic lockers and smart lockers. While the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, they are not the same.
The main difference between electronic and smart lockers is connectivity and system intelligence.
Electronic lockers use digital access methods instead of traditional keys. Smart lockers go further by using cloud-based software, real-time tracking, integrations, and advanced management tools to automate and optimize the entire package workflow.
For multifamily property managers and owners, that distinction matters more than ever.

Onsite vs Offsite Package Management: What Multifamily Leaders Need to Know

Package volume has fundamentally reshaped multifamily operations. What used to be a convenience has become a daily operational responsibility, a resident satisfaction driver, and in some cases, a liability risk.
As properties evaluate solutions, many are weighing onsite vs offsite package management models. Both promise convenience. Both aim to reduce staff burden. But the operational realities and resident experience can look very different.
Below we discuss what you should consider before deciding.

The Rise of Build-to-Rent: What It Means for Proptech and the Future of Amenities

Build-to-rent is no longer a niche concept. It is quickly becoming one of the most important shifts in the multifamily industry.
This is not a temporary response to interest rates or a passing housing cycle. We are watching the formation of a distinct asset class. And like any new asset class, it comes with a new operating model, new resident expectations, and new requirements for technology.
The mistake I see most often is treating build-to-rent as simply horizontal multifamily. It is not. The physical layout may resemble single-family homes, but the operational philosophy has to be entirely different.

UL Certified Smart Lockers: Why Safety Certifications Matter More Than Ever

When evaluating package management systems, UL certified smart lockers should be at the top of your checklist.
In today’s regulatory environment, safety certifications are not optional. They protect residents, reduce liability for owners, streamline approvals for developers, and ensure long-term performance for operators. Understanding which smart locker safety certifications matter and why can help you make a more informed investment decision.

How Package Management Improves Resident Safety in Apartment Communities

Resident expectations are rising and so are concerns about security. In today’s multifamily environment, package delivery has become one of the most overlooked safety vulnerabilities on a property.
Strong package management solutions for resident safety are no longer optional amenities. They are operational safeguards that protect residents, preserve trust, and strengthen retention.
The question is no longer if packages create risk, but how to prevent that risk from escalating.
