Simple and a life saver. I'll be signing up as soon as this comes to NYC.
I get most things shipped to the office to avoid sitting around at home, but sometimes you get an item that's just too big - those items also tend to be more expensive, making the $6.99 thing more palatable. I hope their numbers account for this effect (i.e., disproportionately large packages).
Dealing with USPS pickup slips is the sort of pain I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
Are there delievery lockers (Amazon or others) in the Boston area? I've looked and can't seem to find anything. Seems like this would be a natural here.
Generally speaking Lockers only accept boxes small enough that I'd get them shipped to work anyways. Also sadly there aren't that many Lockers in lower Manhattan :( Definitely none within walking distance of me... and taking the subway to get your package seems to defeat the point of Lockers.
Can't get a TV delivered to an Amazon locker and its hard to get large electronics out of most office buildings without security needing to clear it with your employer. Amazon Lockers have been great though, although better when they were in Staples instead of 7/elevens.
