Amazon Drop Points - FAQ

How do I look up an Amazon Hub Locker or Counter location?

Search by US ZIP code or by keyword to find nearby Amazon Hub Locker and Counter pickup points. The FreightAPIs Amazon Drop Points API returns the address, access-point type (Locker or Counter), and location details for each result - free to use, with a REST endpoint for programmatic and batch queries.

What is the difference between an Amazon Hub Locker and a Counter?

A Hub Locker is a self-service kiosk of secure lockers for package pickup and returns; a Hub Counter is a staffed retail location that accepts and holds Amazon packages on your behalf. The API labels each access point by type so you can filter for the one you need.

Is the Amazon drop-point lookup free?

Yes. Amazon Hub Locker and Counter lookup is free on every plan, including the Free tier (20 API calls per month). Paid plans raise the monthly quota for higher-volume queries.
