That's what Amazon Locker is for. Not sure how widespread this is though.
I view this less as Amazon competing directly with Walmart than a Safeway or CVS using Amazon to provide more value to its current customer base.

- exhilaration 10y agoI just went to Amazon's locker search and plugged in the zip code for the state capitol and the Jackson, MS city hall (largest city in MS) - no results for either. I wonder why they're ignoring the state? We've got lockers in the semi-rural part of Pennsylvania I live in.
