Select in the online store

The "Pakkeboks" (parcel locker) is selected as a delivery option when you select the delivery method in the online store, and is available in some online stores. The reason why parcel lockers cannot be selected in all online stores is that some online stores only allow you to select serviced pick-up points, such as Post-in-Shop. We are working to help even more online stores to offer parcel lockers to you as an e-commerce customer.
