Getting to know Hivebox

Hive box is green colored dropboxes. Each locker-set is made up by a screen and 4-8 row of full length standing lockers. There are 3 kinds of different sizes. Sometimes if the parcel volumn is high in a compound each will provide multiple sets of lockers in a row, and will mark #1 #2 # 3 locker so you need to check with your message and find the right locker. Sometimes if a compound is big, they will put lockers are different locations and the courier will try to drop your packages at the locker close to you. Th notification will contain where the locker is.

When your package is droped or picked up, the hive box will always send a message to your mobile. If you have not followed the hivebox wechat account, they will send the messages to your SMS.

（how to operate to get package from locker?）

However, the Hive Box is promoting their new policy that within 12 hours, we can take the package free, but after 12 hour, they will charge 0.5 rmb for every 12 hours, maximum 3 rmb. Different areas may have different rules for now. So the expense depends on the new rules. So when this sign shows up you need to scan the code to pay them.
