Huanglingyuan Community is located in Dewang Community, Beihu Street, Jianghan District. It was built in the 1980s and has 2 buildings and 112 households.
On July 21, a reporter from Changjiang Daily saw at the entrance of this community against the wall that, unlike ordinary smart express cabinets, these eight stainless steel "convenient express storage cabinets" were more than 1 meter high, with no electronic display screens and cabinet doors. There is no lock on it, just a latch to close the door.
Shi Xinning, the master of the community guard, told reporters that in October 2017, the community installed this row of cabinets here.
The reporter found that after nearly 5 years of use, although there are some rust spots on the surface of the cabinet, the inside and outside of the cabinet are clean and tidy.

During the reporter's interview, Yan Wenjie, a resident of the community, happened to go downstairs to pick up the courier. She opened the cabinet No. 59, rummaged through the piles of packages on the upper partition for a while, took out her package and closed the cabinet door.
"I'm used to it, it's very convenient." Yan Wenjie said that she picks up the courier three or four times a week on average, and the courier will call or send a text message to remind her when it arrives.
"The couriers in this piece all know our convenient express cabinets, and you only need to note the number of cabinets when shopping online."
Yan Wenjie said that residents also wanted to install smart express cabinets before, but because there were few residents in the community and many elderly people, express cabinet companies were reluctant to enter, so residents had to temporarily store express packages in the concierge.
During the peak period of online shopping, parcels will be piled up and it is very inconvenient to find them.
Shi Xinning told reporters that the convenience express cabinet has never been lost since its inception.
Occasionally someone took the wrong courier, and when they found it, they would say something in the group or quickly put it back in the cabinet.
Shi Xinning said that in recent years, some express cabinet companies have proposed to install smart express cabinets in the community, but residents said they no longer needed them.
"I usually clean and disinfect the express cabinets regularly."
The courier Liu Zhuang has been in charge of the delivery work in the Huanglingyuan area for more than a year. He said that he has never seen such a courier cabinet in other places. popular".
What Liu Zhuang said by "popular" means that couriers and residents don't need money to use the convenient express cabinets, and they don't need smartphones and pickup codes when picking up packages. "This is more 'friendly' for the elderly."
"In addition, the convenience express cabinet has a large capacity, and there is no pressure to store large items." Liu Zhuang easily put a box of beer into the cabinet in front of the reporter.
The 81-year-old Huang Jinzhi is a member of the self-management team of Huanglingyuan Community. She told reporters that people in surrounding communities sometimes send express delivery to Huanglingyuan. "It may be that our express cabinet is more convenient."
The reporter learned from Dewang Community that according to the wishes of the residents, after the renovation of Huanglingyuan Community, these "integrity express cabinets" will continue to be retained, and the location of the express cabinets will be adjusted according to the renovation plan, making it more convenient for residents to pick up items without affecting residents, Vehicles entering and leaving the area.
