This exact thing is very popular in Europe, and in New Zealand they're rolling out third-party pick-up locations. Dairies (convenience stores), supermakets and shopping centres (malls) are signing up to get paid on a per-pickup basis. You can buy something online and ask for it to be delivered to your local dairy where it'll be held for up to 10 days. You're required to show ID when picking it up, but it's so much more convenient than asking for evening or Saturday delivery when you're not sure when the courier will be around to deliver the item (although we're not getting very good estimates from analysing past delivery history for streets, 80% of the time accurate within 30 mins).
