I had no idea there was such a thing as an Amazon delivery pick up 'locker'

I just ordered some super impossible to find in local stores items and there was a delivery option to a place about 2 miles from me. The delivery is due on Monday and I'll be watching for it but that's a great option! Has anyone ever used it?

I got a free 30 day subscription to Prime with this order so I'm going to stock up more things, including LOTS of Welsh stuff. I can never have too many dragons.

You can also drop off returns to lockers most times.

Possibly in Walmarts too. I know I’ve seen them someplace else.

I see them in front of convenience stores and at Whole Foods. It's a great option if you are worried about package theft.

and there's a problem with porch pirates in your neighborhood. There's one at a Whole Foods near me, which I used a couple of times for more expensive orders (and at the same time I can buy overpriced organic food!).

You can definitely have too many dragons!

You can have too many cats.
You can have too many bongs.
You can have too many skulls on the mantle.

All things I said, “you can’t have too many fill-in-the-blank!”

Just looking out for you sister!

I have a few such places near me. I use the one that's open 24/7, so I'm not restricted to "store hours".

Eliminates the tension of waiting for a delivery then having it stolen.

I believe UPS and FedEx also have stores you can pick up your items from. I don't have to worry as I WFH.

I've used the Home Depot locker a few times, for small things. Buy it online, walk in to the locker, enter the code and grab and go.
