My name is Rani Based on German technology introduced by DHL, this set of lockers can be used by Amazon to drop off parcels behind each door, which the customers can open with the code sent to them by email. Each locker has a nickname, written on the front, to help identify them. It doesn't matter much here, but if you are at a major railway hub where there are five or six lockers it is quite important
