Directions – The users of the services offered by Sameday via lockers must consider the following directions:

- not to leave/forget personal items in lockers (bank card, wallet, keys, etc.).
- not to deliver – via lockers – parcels which are empty or contain goods other than those covered by the return to Sameday customers.

- recipients are prohibited from returning to the easybox the “return” status parcels without having expressly requested the performance of a new service related to this flow logic.
Such parcels are not considered postal items; they will not have any information in the Sameday IT system based on which the parcel can be processed in the Sameday network and, in conclusion, these “return” status parcels will be treated as products abandoned in the locker by the recipient.
- In the case of “return” status parcels, for which a service order was placed, upon loading them into the locker, the customer is required to read the information on the locker display carefully and to ensure that the parcel is delivered correctly (respectively in the box allocated by the system), regardless of whether or not there is one or more boxes already open.
Conditions – The users of the services offered by Sameday via lockers must consider the following conditions:
- Sameday, as a provider of postal and courier services, assumes no liability towards customers/Beneficiaries and payers of the services contracted and performed via lockers for any of the direct or indirect damages they may incur due to the failure to comply with the abovementioned provisions.

- The sender is responsible for following the size rules of the parcel, for the appropriate packaging (inside and outside) and correct marking thereof, so that the content is not affected (both during the transport and during the period in which it is stored in lockers).

- Sameday assumes no liability for the parcel’s contents, and the parcel is loaded or delivered to the recipient via lockers, only if closed and sealed.

Delivery times of parcels via lockers:
- The period of time in which the recipient of a parcel can pick it up from the locker is a maximum of 36 hours calculated from the receipt of the e-mail and the notification made through the SAMEDAY App informing him/her about the loading of the parcel in the locker by Sameday, with the exception of periods with operational loading (Black Friday, Christmas, Easter, etc.) when the pick-up period is a maximum of 24 hours. If the recipient does not pick up the parcel within the time limit specified above, Sameday will return the parcel to the sender, and the sender will bear the costs for the return.

Scanning the QR code by the recipient or entering the PIN code in the electronic system in the technical column of the locker will unlock the box where the parcel is stored.

Payment of services performed via lockers
