Parcel Lockers in Cyprus: Collect Your Packages Without Being Home
You know how it goes. Courier rings the bell — you're at the beach. Rings again — you're at the supermarket. Third attempt: you're home, but the slip is already in the letterbox. Welcome to the courier experience on an island where life tends to happen somewhere other than your front door.
Self-service parcel lockers solve exactly this problem — and the network in Cyprus is growing fast. Here's an overview of all the relevant providers, as of 2025/2026.
BoxNow — Solar-Powered, 24/7, Outdoors
BoxNow is one of the fastest-growing parcel locker providers in Cyprus. The standout feature: the lockers run on solar power — no electrical connection required — which means they can be placed in locations where other providers can't operate. Car parks, shopping centres, residential areas on the outskirts of town.
Collection works via the BoxNow app or a PIN code sent by SMS. Three parcel sizes: Small (8 cm height), Medium (17 cm) and Large (36 cm). Delivery anywhere in Cyprus arrives the next working day.
Beyond parcel collection, BoxNow also offers locker-to-locker sending within Cyprus, plus shipments to Greece. Drop off a parcel at one locker, the recipient picks up from another — no courier, no fixed times.
BoxNow is also available to private individuals for sending parcels — not just receiving. Handy if you sell items online or occasionally need to send something to Greece, without a trip to the post office.

ACS Smartpoint — Courier Network with Locker Integration
ACS Courier is one of the largest courier services in Cyprus and Greece. The ACS Smartpoint Lockers are integrated directly into the ACS network — when ordering from an online shop that uses ACS as its carrier, you can often select a locker as your delivery address at checkout.
Collection works via Bluetooth through the ACS Mobile App (phone must be nearby) or by PIN code via SMS. Most locations are accessible 24/7. A useful extra: all lockers have a POS terminal — cash-on-delivery payments by card are possible directly at the locker.
Skroutz Point — The Newcomer Growing Fast
Skroutz is the leading price comparison platform in Greece. Since 2025, Skroutz has its own logistics operation and parcel lockers in Cyprus — and the network is expanding at a remarkable pace.
As of early 2026: Over 95 locker locations in Larnaca, Nicosia, Limassol and Ayia Napa. The share of deliveries going through lockers has already reached 27% — which says a lot about how well the concept has been adopted. Expansion is ongoing.
Skroutz Points work primarily for orders placed through skroutz.cy — when shopping there, you can select a Skroutz Point as your delivery address at checkout. Collection is via app or SMS code.
Skroutz.cy is also growing rapidly as a shopping platform for Cyprus — online orders reportedly jumped 83% year-on-year in 2026. If you order from Greek retailers and want to collect locally, this is a good option.
Cyprus Post Parcel24 — State-Run but Limited Coverage
Cyprus Post operates a self-service locker system called Parcel24. The concept is solid: 24-hour collection, choice of primary and secondary locker, SMS notification with a 6-digit PIN code.
The catch: Parcel24 lockers are currently only available at a limited number of post offices — the network is considerably smaller than BoxNow or ACS. A useful option for parcels delivered directly by Cyprus Post; for everything else, location coverage is still sparse.

How to Use a Parcel Locker as Your Delivery Address
- 1At checkout, select 'Parcel Locker' or 'Locker' as delivery method — if the shop supports it
- 2Choose a provider (BoxNow, ACS etc.) and find the nearest location on the map
- 3Wait for an SMS or app notification with your PIN code after delivery
- 4Visit the locker within the collection window (usually 3–5 working days) — enter the PIN or use the app
- 5The compartment opens automatically — take your parcel and you're done
Parcel lockers have size limits — bulky or very heavy items won't fit. For orders with dimensions over around 36 cm in height or over 20 kg, choose home delivery instead. Perishables or anything requiring a cold chain are not suitable for lockers.
Combining with Forwarding Services
Those ordering via a forwarding service like Shoham or Forward2Me generally receive the consolidated parcel at their home address. Some providers will deliver to a business address or parcel locker on request — worth asking if you're rarely home to receive deliveries.
