Package systems - is anyone using Luxer package room application? What are your thoughts and drop it still take staff time to organize the room properly. I am sure the carriers just toss the items and what about Amazon? Thanks for your comments
Utilizing both systems at two different properties. Just started Luxer last week so not a lot of feed back just yet... parcel pending works the issue is that majority of the large packages do not fit. Highly recommend a package room that incorporates one of the systems. This is what we are rolling out with Luxer now ... if you want to DM me I can provide you more feed back in the weeks to come.
Amazon is the only carrier I have issues with. I have yet to have the same driver twice. They can never figure out how to get in the room where the boxes are located. We have given the codes to their supervisor dozens of time but the info is never in their hand held devices. They leave stacks of boxes at random locations on the property. They leave packages that arent even one of our addresses, etc... I could go on and on but you get the point. Other than that, I love the Luxor system
We use Notifii and we love it! We didn't have the money or space to install lockers so we decided to use a software instead. You just use an ipad to scan the package in and it texts the resident automatically! It also integrates with our property management software Resman as well. Highly recommend if you don't have the space or budget for lockers!
Not using Luxor yet, but like what I know of them, and also the vendor we are using on one asset.
My advice based on first experience is to make sure you have enough storage lockers. The package companies use a formula, but my property's lockers are close to capacity all the time with the "standard" formula, and residents don't move the packages out as quickly as you'd hope (remember the piles that stayed on your office floor...). So we are at capacity, and our vendor projects that packages will double at the holidays. We are already looking at adding another set of lockers, but wish we'd had better info prior to install. There should be data out there about different demographics and packages, maybe even through Luxor.
I love the package room because any size package fits and Luxer accepts liability if any package is stolen. But it can be frustrating if carriers don’t log the packages in like they’re supposed to. Mostly it’s Amazon deliveries that are the biggest pain because you have a different person delivering every time. Other than that we love it.
I have used it for past 3 years and love it. We do check it every day because I like it organized and because amazon is the worst. Even checking it daily, I spend less than 10 minutes on packages. No clue what these other issues are. I think it’s amazing.

Valet Living offers a package solution where we accept all inbound packages and deliver direct to residents apartment homes. I’d be happy to connect with with a rep if you would like to learn more.
No but we use package concierge at several of our properties and really like them. I’ve had co-workers that used Luxor before and prefer package concierge.
The property I live on uses it and its great when it works. We've had a problem of the system going down all the time and sometimes the alerts aren't sent till the next day.
We use Luxer. At first it was a pain because delivery companies weren’t using it properly. However, I made a super simple how to sheet that we hand to every delivery person and it’s solved 95% of the problems we had. A little commitment to making it right goes a long way.
We accept packages through Notifii and love it! Residents love that they get a text when their package arrives and we are able to weed out unauthorized occupants too.
We have it at a few properties, but I’ve heard about nothing but problems with it. Could be that it doesn’t integrate well with our PM software though.
Luxor customer service is farmed out and just awful to deal with. Owners spent $30k on lockers and couldn’t get them to work. Package concierge is best
I absolutely LOVE Luxor One. Used on all my properties. Best customer support myself and my residents ever received. Always live folks and nothing automated. Can’t recommend them enough based on my experience with them!
