My first purchase. Do I have to do anything when I make a purchase in my online shop for the package to be delivered to the community boxes?

Once you have registered you can buy in any online shop as usual.

We recommend that you include "Citibox mailboxes" as part of your regular address details, as in this example:

What will the first collection of a package look like?

Once the courier has left your online purchase in the Citibox you will automatically receive a notice that you have a package waiting. At the moment you want to pick it up in the application you will be able to see which mailbox it is in and what the unique access key is.

It may happen that the first time you have not yet registered with Citibox. Once we have installed the mailboxes in the community, our aim is to make the new service known to all the neighbours. However, there may be some cases in which the communication has not arrived or may have gone unnoticed. In this case there is no problem as registration will take no more than 3 minutes, and the use of the service for the neighbours and the community is free.

Once the application has been downloaded and the registration has been completed, as many packages as you wish can be collected with the appropriate privacy and security measures. Citibox intelligent mailboxes make contactless delivery between the courier and the neighbour possible.

If you have any questions despite this information, please write to our email serviceclient@citibox.com  so that we can deal with them individually.

I have a problem picking up my package, what can I do?

The Citibox application, available in Google Play and the Apple App Store, provides alternatives in case of finding a problem when picking up an order, and includes a help section, support, with some recommendations or tips.

Once the collection process has started and the screen shows the opening code, at the bottom there is a "Something has happened" button. If you press it, it will give you 3 possible options:

- The door has not been opened and....
I heard the lock move
I heard 3 beeps
- The door has been opened but...
It has been closed
- None of the above
Contact our team

Select the option that is closest to you and follow the steps. If despite these indications you finally cannot open the mailbox, the order will remain in the mailbox with the status "Error" until we can solve it through the contact options with customer service.

If the order appears as being picked up in the Citibox application and you have not been able to open the mailbox, please write to us at  serviceclient@citibox.com  , indicating your name and telephone number associated with Citibox, and we will attend to you as soon as possible. We normally respond within 24 business hours.

Once I have received the notice, how long do I have to pick up the package?

Normally packages delivered to Citibox smart boxes are being picked up within 24/48 hours of the notice being sent. Your package can be in the mailbox for up to 4 calendar days. On the 5th day the process of not collecting will start and finally the courier will remove the package from the mailbox to return it to the origin.

If you are on holiday or need more days to collect your order, don't worry. Please write to serviceclient@citibox.com  indicating the day you are going to pick it up, we will extend the custody period at Citibox and thus prevent the courier from picking it up.

We give you a period of 4 calendar days to collect your order at Citibox because the legal period to make a claim to the courier companies is 7 days. Please note that when an order is delivered to Citibox the delivery has been confirmed by the courier company.

Remember that all the orders that enter the Citibox mailboxes are insured against vandalism or damage that may occur due to water or other elements.

I am a MESSAGER

How can I start using Citiboxes to deliver packages?

Our mailboxes are universal, they are delivering packages couriers of any of the courier companies operating in Spain from MRW or SEUR through Amazon Logistics. In most cases we have reached agreements with them and in the rest of the cases we are working. The only courier company that does not deliver autonomously to Citibox intelligent mailboxes is Correos, however we have reached the first agreement with them, specifically with their subsidiary Correos Express.

Any courier from any courier company has three ways of being able to leave parcels in the mailboxes:

- Through the web by accessing the following address citibox.app.

- You can use the Citibox smart boxes through the Citibox app for messengers for Android phones.

- Finally, in some cases we have integrated our systems so that you can access Citibox mailboxes through your own PDA or work tool.
