   2. Purpose of the app: Opening the specific locker in which the parcel addressed to the User is deposited, where it shall remain temporarily guarded until it is collected. Citibox does not carry out any phase of the transport or storage of the parcel, and therefore, Citibox does not manipulate the goods at any time or allows access to third parties.

Previously, when the courier has deposited the parcel in the mailbox, the user will have received a notification via email, SMS or push notification through the app, that they have a shipment pending collection. To remove the parcel from the mailbox, the user with the app must follow the steps indicated in the app or the mailbox itself in order to obtain the PIN code that unlocks the mailbox.
   2. Collection system without app: even if you don't have the Citibox app, it is still possible for a courier to deposit a package in our mailboxes in your name. In this case, and only in the event that you do not use or do not wish to use the Citibox app and service, you can open the mailbox to retrieve your package by contacting our customer service centre by the means we make available to you. The procedure is simple, and is as follows: 
      • The courier will have previously registered your telephone number on our server in order to leave the package in the mailbox so that you can pick it up.
      • From Citibox, by the means at our disposal, we will send you a notification that you have a package pending collection in one of our mailboxes.

      • Once you contact us, we will respond with instructions on how to retrieve the parcel from the indicated box.
      • Once the recovery process has been completed, we will ask you if you wish to return to receive parcels in our mailboxes or if you prefer not to receive any more. If you select the second option, unless you subsequently register in the app, you will not be able to receive any items in our mailboxes.
   3. Only the persons to whom the parcel is addressed will be able to collect the parcels from the lockers, i.e. the details of the person stated in the shipping information of the order must coincide with the details of the registered user or the user who registers. In the event that the User is unable to collect the parcel, he or she may contact customer service.
