PARCEL TERMINAL
Collection 24 hours a day
Payment by bank card
In well-frequented places throughout the country
The most modern way to receive a parcel
Cash dispensers, ticket machines, vending machines... the world is becoming ever more convenient.
In 2014 Magyar Posta contributed to this with a new solution.
Modern parcel terminals were located at several dozen well-frequented places in cities around the country.
In essence parcel terminals consist of an interface with a screen and different-sized lockers which hold parcels.
Parcel terminals make collection fast – all you need is your own phone number and the code you received and you can access
your order straight away.
What’s more, they can be used 24 hours a day.
There’s no doubt about it – this is the future and the use of Parcel Terminals will spread rapidly in Hungary, too.
Look out for the most modern collection method in your favourite web stores.
Parcel Terminals are accessible 24 hours a day throughout the country.

The terminal offers you a discreet solution – you don’t have to order parcels to your home address or workplace.
Introduced in the spring of 2014, there is now a new, convenient way to collect online orders by pressing a few buttons. When placing an order, you can choose the terminal where you’d like the parcel to be delivered
When making a purchase from a web store, you simply have to choose the Parcel Terminal delivery method. To find out which web stores definitely offer this method of delivery, click on HOW CAN YOU ORDER.
When your parcel has arrived, you will be notified by SMS and e-mail and given the code which you will need to collect it. Enter this code and your phone number on the screen of the terminal and immediately the locker containing your order will open. If your parcel has been posted with the payment-for-goods service (cash on delivery), you can pay the required amount at the terminal using your bank card. The locker will open after payment has been made.
Anyone can use a Parcel Terminal – individual customers and companies alike. Contracted senders of parcels can obtain more information from their personal sales executive.

Parcel terminal networks operate in many countries around the world and their number and popularity is steadily increasing. For example, there are currently 2,500 parcel terminals in Germany.
Once the web store compiles the ordered goods and hands over the parcel to Magyar Posta for delivery, the parcel will arrive in the Parcel Terminal on the 2nd working day following the day of dispatch (or on the day following the day of dispatch if the web store indicated a 1 working day delivery time) and we will send you an electronic notification of its arrival.
The parcels’ safety is protected by both mechanical and electronic security elements, and the lockers are protected against water damage caused by the weather. (However, it should be noted that terminals are not heated or cooled.) The terminals are located outdoors in busy places. The safe collection of parcels is guaranteed by a CTTV system and automatic lighting.
The illumination at Parcel Terminals ensures good visibility around them. Furthermore, similarly to ATMs, video recordings are made during the use of a terminal and these can be used in justified cases.
Twice a day.
If a parcel cannot be placed in a locker when a terminal is filled in the morning, there is usually an empty locker in the afternoon. If nevertheless it is still full, we will contact you by phone to agree about any other delivery method. These include next day delivery at the terminal, delivery to the door (which can be at the place where you work), or delivery at a Postal Point or a MOL Postal Point.
No, each locker can only contain one parcel.
