Why use Locpin?

Picture this — you have just moved out of the city to a beautifully remote but impossible to find house. You are in the midst of setting up your new home and waiting eagerly for your deliveries. Unfortunately, whilst waiting for your delivery you are endlessly on the phone repeating delivery instructions only to watch him from your house on the hill driving back and forth past the driveway and finally driving away in frustration — without delivering the package. Parcels upon parcels remain undelivered and you wonder why that is despite filling out the right address and postcode.
A recent report ‘Parcel Delivery’ from Citizens Advice touches upon precisely these issues. In addition to delayed and missed deliveries it touches upon parcels left in an insecure location (not stolen), parcels left with neighbours without their consent as other challenges consumers face.
Citizens Advice worked with the government, industry representatives and other consumer bodies to produce a set of practical suggestions for online retailers. Amongst these suggestions was the focus on increasing the success of first-time delivery by offering a range of delivery options and times, allowing consumers to provide specific delivery instructions, select a safe-place or specific neighbour delivery, offer options to collect from a store, third party outlet, a Post Office or a secure locker, and tell consumers when delivery can be expected.
This is where Locpin comes in.
Locpin is an easy to use technology service based on precise GPS co-ordinates, so you as a consumer define your exact location to within a few metres. Once you’ve created your account, you can add all sorts of information to help delivery drivers find your location without a hitch.
Your information, once you place the order is dispatched to the carrier. He then looks up all your information from your Locpin code, which details any specific routes to avoid delayed delivery, a preferred safe place or even if you want it left with a specific neighbour. The locpin code you generate is what helps pinpoint your exact delivery location and consequently delivery to the Right place, first time, every time.
When you create a Locpin, it is set to private by default. You control who you share it with and it will not appear on any public searches on this website and will never be available via search engines.
You do not have to remember the code locpin generates. The simplicity of locpin is its ability to link the GPS coordinates of a place you like to pinpoint directly to your phone or email address. So if you need to share your location details, you can do so with your email or phone number. People or businesses who want to look-up your location probably already have your contact details.
The choice is yours!
This is not just for deliveries. You can also use locpin for returning your goods. In fact you can use locpin for any situation that requires someone to find your location quickly and efficiently.
