- Are there any fees to use DashLocker?
Absolutely not! There are no fees to use the lockers or to access DashLocker locations. There are also no monthly commitments (unless you’d like to sign up for a laundry plan), and you can stop your use of DashLocker at any time without doing anything special.
All our pricing is done à la carte, which is a fancy French way of saying you are charged for the items you put in our lockers and that’s it.
- Am I assigned my own locker?
No, customers are not assigned their own lockers. Simply place your items into any available locker, lock it, and place an order. Depending on the preferences you select on your account, you will receive a text or an e-mail when your laundry has been picked up, and when your fresh, clean items have been returned to an available locker. You will be billed when your order is delivered.
- How do you know what locker my clothes are in?
Magic! Just kidding. If you have a permanent DashLocker tag and bag, we can scan that tag and it contains your name, email, and phone number.
If you don’t have a permanent tag, placing an order lets us connect your name to the bag and locker containing your items. After processing your order, we will then return your clothes with a branded DashLocker bag and a permanent tag.
- How do you know to pick up my clothes from a locker?
Placing an order sets everything in motion. DashLocker will notify you when your laundry has been picked up, and again when your fresh, clean items have been returned to an available locker in your building.

- Do you guys do package delivery?
It turns out that DashLocker no longer provides package delivery services. We’re working on a way to make package delivery services a viable option again one day, and when we do, you’ll be the first to know!
- Do I need to lock the locker?
Yes! Because of the number of lockers available, it would not be feasible to check every single locker at every location. Our Dash Drivers only check locked lockers at all of our New York laundry locations.
Not locking the locker could result in a delay in your items being picked up and cleaned, or could lead to lost or stolen items. - How do I pay for my clothes?

- What is the difference between dry cleaning a shirt and laundering a shirt?
As much as we would love to bore you with an answer to this question, we think GQ explained it pretty well here.

Of course! If you do a lot of laundry, you can choose monthly plans that help you save on bulk orders. These plans are coming soon.

- You guys are open 24/7, but my clothes weren't ready in 24 hours! What gives?
DashLocker makes laundry and dry cleaning more convenient than the 7am-7pm cleaner by being open all the time. That means you can drop off laundry at 2am on Friday or pick up your clothes at 2pm on Sunday. We solve the problem of not being able to get to the cleaner before it closes.
Even though our lockers are open for you to pick up and drop off items 24 hours a day, our Dash Drivers only visit locations at set hours.
There are other factors that may have delayed your order, as well. Here is a list of why your order might be delayed:
- The locker containing your items was left unlocked.
- An order was not made for the items.
- You requested repairs, hang drying, or alterations on an item, all of which can take extra time.
- You sent in a specialty item such as shoes, rugs, or comforters. These items can take extra time.
If none of these factors are applicable to your situation, just drop us a line at [email protected]. This email address is monitored by our customer service team, and they will be able to work with you to discover the reason behind the delay in your order.
- I've tried to add a discount to my account, but I'm getting an error message. Why?
Oh no! There are a couple of reasons you could be receiving this error message. Check your discount and make sure it’s not for first time users only. If you’ve already placed an order, this coupon won’t work.
If you are a first time user but the discount still isn’t working, click on “Discounts.” If there’s already a first time discount in your cart, you will not be able to add a new discount. Really want the second discount instead of the first? Email [email protected] and our Customer Service team will help you out.
Remember, discounts cannot be used in combination with other promotions.

That means you can only apply one discount to any DashLocker order. Don’t worry, though! You can save your second discount and apply it to a second order.
- I see this "Dash Cash" thing on my account. How does that work?
