We are planning and expecting to open and begin using the Package Room, with the new LUXER notification service, beginning Monday February 4th. Residents with current e-mails on file should begin receiving automatic notices that day, as we transfer all packages currently being held in the Management Office, to the package room. Stay tuned…a formal announcement is expected to be door dropped early next week, with details and information.
Residents can follow these registration instructions below by February 4th for access to the secure package room:

How Luxer One Works
Hold Package Feature

Security
The Luxer Room is monitored with video surveillance 24/7, by both LUXER and Park Tower’s surveillance system, so your package will always be secured safely.

Package Room Guidelines
Package Room Launch Date
Coming Very Soon
Finishing touches are in the works, SO we are expecting the new PT Package Room managed by LUXER, to be opening soon. We are optimistic a Grand Opening announcement with a date and instructions for registering, managing your account and retrieving packages, will be released within the next week. Following that, packages and deliveries will be accessible 24/7!
In the interim, we continue to post the latest news and announcements on our website at www.ptcondo.com. This includes details regarding LUXER and the basics about what to expect from the new Package Room.
So the transition to this service is most convenient for you, we need to be sure we have all current e-mail and cell phone number on file for every resident who expects to receive packages. If you have any doubt we don’t have this on file for you, please fill out the following and return this form (Click Here) to the office, or drop it off in the slot at the lobby front desk:

We finally received and installed the LUXER interface panels (one which is visible just outside the package room door), and the security cameras which the service uses to manage the room and monitor traffic. LUXER has also completed uploading the database for use in sending messages to residents when packages arrive.
Right now, our team is awaiting scheduling by LUXER to complete making their necessary connection between the database and the newly installed equipment. This step is not yet scheduled, but we are hopeful that will done any day. After that, the system and controls will be tested. Once testing is determined to be successful, the package room will begin being used for deliveries.
Also, LUXER has determined that due to the size and layout of the package room, that another camera will need to be installed. That is currently in route, but is not expected to delayed the ongoing work to get the room open and operational.
IMPORTANT – TO BE ABLE TO ANNOUNCE THE ARRIVAL OF YOUR PACKAGES, we need a current e-mail address and/or a cell phone number. Without that you will only be able to rely the carrier confirmation (Amazon, UPS, FedEx, USPS), to know your package has arrived. If you need to give us an e-mail or cell phone number, or if you’re unsure we have the current best contact information for this, please send us an e-mail.
As a reminder, following is a video giving a simple overview of how our LUXER Package Room will work, though there are some nuances unique to our space, such as that carriers will log in packages on the inside of the space, not outside:
We’ve been told to expect receipt of the LUXER equipment any day now. Once we receive and install the equipment, the software can be installed, the database can be loaded and system can be tested. After successful testing, we will finally be able to put the new service in place.
Once the equipment is installed, we are hopeful we can identify a launch date.
As residents can see, the Pressbox By Tide lockers have been installed.
HOWEVER, we are awaiting detailed instructions for residents to begin using them. Despite there being instructions on the lockers themselves, we have not received word that the service is available. Once we do, it will be distributed as quickly as we can get it out.
We were told we may receive details any day or moment – how to set up an account, what to do and expect, pricing, etc. We will push that out to everyone right when we get it.

PRESSBOX Dry Cleaning Locker Install Coming –
We have received word that the LUXER Package Room equipment is in route. Once we receive, install and test it, package receiving will return to the old receiving room space.
More updates will follow, once we receive the equipment and are able to determine a schedule for launch.
ALSO – for the PRESSBOX By Tide dry cleaning service, we’ve been told installation is expected very soon. Once the lockers are installed and the service is up and running, details and instructions for use will be distributed.

Sue will continue helping when she is able, on weekdays only until 6:30pm. But this WILL NOT be every day, and not on Saturdays.
For any urgent deliveries, such as prescription drugs, you can visit the front desk and ask if Security is available to assist.
If you are expecting something very important, and would like to make special arrangements to insure you can get access to it, give us a heads up: Click Here
At the Meeting on Monday November 12th, the Board formally approved the contracts with PRESSBOX and Luxer, for the the Dry Cleaning and Package Receiving/Messaging services. Once the agreements are processed, we expect Luxer to ship the equipment for package scanning service, and we are awaiting details on the installation of the PRESSBOX lockers.
QUESTION – In the meantime, why can’t we get a notification or message from the Office when a package arrives at the office?
Our sincere apologies, but it is just not humanly possible. We are sometimes receiving in excess of 100 packages a day. Recently, Amazon dropped off over 200 packages in one delivery! If you are expecting something and you don’t already get an alert or confirmation via text or e-mail, or you’re concerned you may have a package, feel free to contact the office and we are happy to check. 773-769-3250 or e-mail parktowercondo@draperandkramer.com.
Join our team as we meet with representatives of “LUXER” and “PRESSBOX by Tide“, as they make presentations on what’s to come in our new Receiving area.
Work is already underway as we transform the Dry Cleaners and Receiving room into a storage room for packages and deliveries. The biggest changes are that the room will be secured and accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we will have storage capabilities for perishable items. A LUXER receiving room system and control pane will be installed, where packages can be logged in and messages sent to residents to announce their arrival.
Immediately across from the space, where the bulletin Board is now, PRESSBOX by Tide lockers will be installed for professional dry cleaning service. Here drop off and delivery of laundry can be made, and we are told residents can expect a 2 day turn around for dry cleaning.
All Owners and Residents are welcome and STRONGLY encouraged to join us for this very important meeting.
IMPORTANT REMINDER
Throughout the remodeling effort in the receiving room, packages and deliveries will be dropped of and stored in the Management Office, and will be available for pick up:
MONDAY thru FRIDAY 8am to 6:30pm
SATURDAYs 8am to 12pm

More information about this is available below, AND join us for a Town Hall Meeting, Tuesday November 13th at 7pm in the Party Room.

Following that, the Association is expecting to begin a build out of the space. We anticipate this to be about a month long process, with new flooring, lighting and shelving being installed to receive packages by way of a “Luxer” Room. (Click Here To Learn About Luxer) Deliveries will be scanned in, stored in the room and messages/texts will be sent to residents to announce their delivery. “Pressbox by Tide” laundry care and cleaning service lockers will be installed, for residents who need professional laundry services. (Click Here To Learn About Pressbox By Tide))
Following is a video giving a simple overview of how a Luxer Package Room will work:
As we get closer to the launch of these services, we expect at least one Town Hall Meeting to be scheduled so representatives can introduce the service and answer questions. Also, following the opening of the new receiving room, representatives will be scheduled to be present on occasion, to assist with the launch.
Preparations are underway to begin the demo process for the package room on November 1st. At that time, the Management Office will temporarily take over receiving duties. Most small and medium packages will be stored on temporary shelving in the Conference Room. Large packages will be dealt with on a case by case basis. We are pleased AND VERY THANKFUL to announce Sue will actually be helping us in the office, several hours each business day and early evening, and Saturdays from 9am to 1pm.
