Thinking about it a lot, and I think the simpler way to solve the same problem would be shipping container sized package 'vending machines'. These could be distributed anywhere a couple parking spaces worth of land could be rented. You could either pick up your items yourself, or pickups could be handled via an "uber for packages" type model. The advantage of a system like that would be how quickly it could change based on demand, and it would work well inside all the current shipping infrastructure. The trick would be stocking the right items in the right locations, but if anyone has the data to be able to do that it's Amazon.
