Amazon Locker

I order a lot of things through Amazon and I’ve only had one or two problems. Sometime they say they’ve delivered something, but it won’t show up for days… but I’ve never had an issue with my home address. Then, since Amazon Prime Day/week, I’ve had two packages that were delivered to the wrong location. I believe both were delivered by the USPS… so now I have very little faith in the post office.

After spending a little time chatting with someone in India about my missing Amazon packages, I have decided to now only get deliveries at an Amazon Locker. This Amazon Locker service is free for Prime members.



It is a little inconvenient for me to drive to a public location, but knowing that I won’t lose a package again, I am willing to do this. Thankfully, there are a few lockers located near me, so it’s not all terrible.



My first Amazon Locker pickup will be tomorrow (Thursday), so I’m a little nervous about this.



From what I’ve read, once the package is delivered, Amazon will email me a special code. I can punch in that number at the pickup location and get my order. I hope it goes smoothly for me.



In the meantime, I have looked at other locker locations… one being inside a pizza place, so now I’m thinking I could order a pizza while I’m doing my Amazon pickup. I’m not sure if you actually need to talk to someone behind the counter or are you there to use a self-checkout. It’ll be a learning experience once I experiment in shipping to different lockers.

Update: The pickup was a success! Everything went smoothly, meaning the code worked, my package was there, and absolutely no issues. I have heard that sometime you may see someone else’s package (in addition to your package) in your locker. So that is concerning if it is true. I also had a hard time locating the Amazon Locker. However, once I found it, I do not think I will have any problems getting future deliveries at this location. It’s well-lit, it seems like a safe area, and I am going to love getting packages there.
The sad thing is that not every items can be delivered to a locker. This has to do with third-party sellers or deliveries from overseas. Still, there are enough products on Amazon that will deliver to Amazon Locker… so I am looking forward to buying more things soon.
