Package Lockers vs Package Room vs Concierge

Three models, one decision

Every apartment package strategy eventually reduces to a choice between smart lockers, a managed package room, a concierge desk, or some hybrid of the three. The right answer depends on unit count, package volume, existing amenity staffing, and what you already have built.

This comparison lays out how each model performs on capital cost, ongoing operating cost, resident experience, oversized/cold handling, chain-of-custody, and staffing burden — and gives a decision matrix by community type.
