How it works
Five steps. Zero missed deliveries.
-
Step 01
Courier arrives
Driver reaches your address and contacts you for the One Time Pin.
-
Step 02
You share a One Time Pin
Give the courier the OTP — or open the crate on-demand from your phone while on the call.
-
Step 03
Parcel safely stored
Delivery is sealed inside the weatherproof crate, every access logged and audited.
-
Step 04
Customer collects later
You unlock the unit with your phone whenever convenient.
Step 05
Prefer a phone call?
We know not every courier supports real-time messaging. If you'd rather have the driver call you from your gate, simply open the crate from your smartphone during the call — same security, same audit trail, easier delivery.
Share access, from anywhere
You don't need to be home to receive a delivery.
Generate a single-use One Time Pin from your phone — at the office, in traffic, on holiday — and share it with the courier. The crate opens once, logs the event, and locks itself again.
- Single-use OTP, expires the moment the crate closes
- Share by call, SMS or WhatsApp — no app required for the courier
- Every access timestamped and audited in your dashboard
- Revoke or open on-demand from your phone, in real time
Built for real homes
Engineered for South African estates and businesses.
Whether it's a Stellenbosch estate, a Sandton office park or a coastal townhouse, MyCrate is built to fit in — and to keep working through any condition.
- Hardware-independent — built to scale across vendors
- Operates without keys, RFID cards or daily intervention
- Built for load-shedding and intermittent connectivity

Contact the teamWhat is MyCrate?
MyCrate is your own secure delivery space.
It gives you a dedicated place where couriers can safely leave parcels while you're away. Instead of rushing home, asking neighbours for help or collecting packages from the estate gate, your deliveries wait securely until you're ready to collect them.
Think of it as your own personal delivery address—available whenever you need it.
Why was MyCrate created?
MyCrate started with a simple frustration.
Like many people, I leave home early, return late and often miss delivery windows. I wanted to enjoy the convenience of online shopping without having to plan my day around couriers.
There wasn't a solution that gave me my own private delivery space, so I decided to build one.
That's how MyCrate was born.
How does a delivery work?
It's simple.
Place your order with your favourite retailer.
When the courier is on the way, provide them with a secure one-time access code or remotely open the MyCrate from your phone.
The courier places your parcel inside.
The box locks automatically.
You receive a notification and collect your parcel whenever it suits you.
No waiting at home. No missed deliveries.
Is MyCrate secure?
Yes—but it's important to understand what MyCrate is designed for.
MyCrate is not a high-security safe. It is a secure delivery solution designed to safely receive everyday parcels while you're away.
The unit is built from heavy-duty steel, securely mounted, access-controlled and locked between deliveries.
Like any physical product, determined force can damage it, but MyCrate is specifically designed to make unattended deliveries significantly safer than leaving parcels at a gate, on a doorstep or with someone else.
Which delivery companies can use MyCrate?
Almost any delivery company can use MyCrate.
Because access is controlled by you—not the courier—there is no special software required for delivery drivers.
Whether it's groceries, food delivery, online shopping or courier services, if the driver can contact you, they can deliver to your MyCrate.
How do I order a MyCrate?
Click Request a quote to submit your details.
Our team will prepare a personalised quote and send it to you within 48 hours.
Once you accept the quote, your unit is delivered. Placement and setup at your property are handled by you — a full guide is included in the box, and any local handyman can assist if needed.
Does MyCrate use third-party access technology?
Yes. MyCrate currently ships on proven South African commercial access-control technology so we can deliver a reliable, secure product from day one.
As we roll out our own hardware and software platform, existing owners will be supported through the transition.
What happens if something goes wrong?
Every unit includes battery backup for power interruptions, manual key access when needed, and support from our operations team.
If you experience an issue, we're committed to helping you quickly and personally.
Who is MyCrate for?
MyCrate is designed for people who aren't always available to receive deliveries.
It is ideal for busy professionals, families, estate residents, business owners and frequent online shoppers.
If you've ever changed your plans because you were waiting for a courier, MyCrate was built with you in mind.
Where is MyCrate heading?
We believe secure personal delivery spaces will become as common as a mailbox.
Our vision is to support hundreds of thousands of homes, businesses and estates, making secure unattended deliveries part of everyday life.
A note from the founder
Built for my own front door.
When I built the first MyCrate, the goal was simple: create a product that I would trust at my own front door.
Every detail has been shaped by practical use, real-world testing, and a focus on secure, reliable deliveries. Today, that same product is available for others who value convenience, security and control over how they receive their parcels.
Thank you for choosing MyCrate. I hope it serves you as well as it serves me.
