# Locations category

Scurri assigns a standardized category to every Delivery Location across all supported carriers (e.g., Locker, Collection Point).
This allows you to request locations based on specific categories according to your or your customers' preferences.

In addition to location category, there is also location type, which is assigned by a carrier.

Both of the category and type are returned by Locations API as part of Delivery Location object.

The following categories are supported by the Locations API:

- `locker` - for the Locker.
- `collection_point` - for the Collection Point.


Please find below which location type maps to which category for each carrier.
