BROOKLYN – The Postal Service has introduced seven package-delivery units in Brooklyn that provide free parcel lockers for customers to use as a secondary mailing address for receiving packages. 

The seven high-tech, high-security units, known as GoPost, expand the ease of access to package delivery services by the Postal Service in Brooklyn and incorporate mobile messages to the receivers when packages arrive at the unit.

GoPost offers local users seven solutions for convenient package service, including

1. Customers can use the location of a gopost unit as the mailing address for receiving packages
2. An Email or text notification alerts customers when their package has arrived at gopost
3. Residents in some ZIP Code delivery areas who receive a ‘MISSED DELIVERY NOTICE’ can redirect package delivery from their physical address to gopost. Eligible addresses receive instructions with a special delivery notice in their mailbox
4. Find other gopost locations along your route of travel by using the gopost and usps.com online sites
5. You will not be assigned a specific locker. Packages are placed in secure, weather-protected lockers that best accommodate the size of your package.
6. Gopost service also provides customers the option of dropping off prepaid packages. With 24 hour access for package services, waiting on line at the post office for package service is a thing of the past.
7. There is no fee for GoPost services and no upcharge for package pickup at GoPosts.  

Six of the seven Brooklyn sites, offer 24-hour access for receiving and shipping packages using the self-service kiosk and parcel lockers.
Just ahead of the holidays and for all-weather protection of packages, GoPost services are now operational in seven locations in Brooklyn, including:

How does a GoPost unit work?

• Sign up by answering a few questions at www.gopost.com.
• A registration card with your user ID and PIN number is immediately sent by mail to your physical address. Validate receiving your ID card.
• Now you can use any Gopost location as your mailing address for package delivery. Be sure to provide your mailer of a package with the Gopost address of choice.
• You can change which Gopost address you want to use for any package delivery
• When your package arrives to Gopost a text or email notification is sent to you.
• At the Gopost unit sign in at the Gopost kiosk screen using your ID and PIN number. The parcel locker opens and your package is waiting for you.

Logging in with the secure, validated personal ID and PIN Number, packages bearing prepaid postage may be placed with a GoPost unit.  Prepaid package labels are scanned and packages deposited in an empty locker which securely locks when closed. The Postal Service takes the package at the next visit to the GoPost.

GoPost units are also available in Washington DC and at New York’s Grand Central Station postal finance station at 450 Lexington Avenue, NY, NY 10017. 

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
