Estonia is the first country in the world with a functioning person to person parcel delivery service via parcel lockers. The parcel locker network similar to that in Estonia is also created in Germany. The named network is founded by world’s largest courier company DHL but this network does not provide person to person parcel delivery option in the same simple manner.
