Package Lockers

The Package Lockers provide a convenient and easy to use package retrieval system that will complement current window pickup in Mail Services.

Packages available for pickup at the Mail Services Window will arrive from mailservices@barnard.sclintramail.com. This is your indication that the package has been processed and is ready for pickup.

Packages available for pickup from one of the locker banks will arrive from 
"Barnard College Mail Services <no-reply@pb.com>". This email will contain instructions for retrieving your package.  

Please wait for an email notification from mailservices@barnard.sclintramail.com or no-reply@pb.com (do not rely on carrier notifications).

You will receive an email notification with instructions on how to pick up your package from one of the locker banks. Here is a quick user guide:

  1. Receive Email Notification.
  2. Go to the specific Locker Bank location according to email instructions.
  3. At the locker, open the email message and scan the barcode from your phone at the reader. Alternatively, you can use a digit PIN code to open the locker. Select the "Enter manually" button and then enter the code provided on the next screen.
  4. Your picture will be taken, then sign the screen.
  5. A locker door will open–simply retrieve the package and make sure to close the locker door. (Be mindful of the locker door opening suddenly!)
