Times are changing in the world of package delivery. Think about it, how many of you have ordered clothes, furniture, flowers, or even groceries online? More and more consumers are avoiding the hassle of visiting stores and taking their purchases online, including refrigerated deliveries. According to Pew Research , 8 out of every 10 Americans are now shopping online. Even more astounding is that 62% are purchasing online every week. If you’re like most Americans, you’ve done your share of online shopping this year.

With the surge of online shopping, package delivery is also changing. Shoppers want the reassurance that their purchases are safe and that their perishables are not spoiling. They also want to avoid the hassle of retrieving their packages within a finite period of time, like the office hours of their multi-family community. Package management companies, like Parcel Pending, have become the solution to these challenges in helping to make worry-free shopping a reality. Refrigerated package lockers are one important solution that Parcel Pending offers to protect temperature-sensitive packages. These types of electronic smart lockers allow deliveries such as food, flowers, medication and other perishables to not only remain chilled, but also remain secure until shoppers pick-up their packages — anytime and at their convenience.

In this day and age, the possibilities of online shopping are truly endless. Refrigerated parcel lockers further those possibilities by allowing you to receive and pick up groceries, flowers and medications without the fear of theft or spoilage. This is what guarantees the vast future of refrigerated deliveries.
