My apartment uses LuxerOne (https://app.luxerone.com https://app.luxerone.com), and it is the best amenity IMO. One problem of Amazon Hub v/s LuxerOne is that I don't think Amazon Hub will work with packages from other retailers.

"Accepting deliveries from all carriers, Hub by Amazon can free you and your staff from daily package management."

  I'd be possible to honestly say you accept deliveries from any carrier and still require the seller to be Amazon. But anyway the video says "any retailer", so that's not the case.

I have one of these in my building. The result is that there is always a giant pile of packages surrounding the lockers. I talked to the delivery people about why, they said the the buttons are too hard to push, so they just leave the packages laying around and nobody really minds anyway, so it's not worth their time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The video says receive packages from anyone, so sounds like it might be a direct competitor to luxerone.

Mine uses Parcel Pending, which seems to be the same thing. Amusingly, LuxerOne, Parcel Pending and this Amazon thing all seem to be using the same device, so this is either very convergent evolution or there's just one Chinese whitebox manufacturer for these lockers and everyone just slaps their logo on them.

  I was noticing that too, all of these package lockers look almost identical, with the same (easily identified) crappy touch screen and qr scanner. It would be interesting to see someone actually innovate in this field, but I'm curious what that would look like.

    Luxer One uses an iPad for it's Touchscreen interface, and front facing camera for QR scanning.

My apartment building has a secure room instead of a locker. 24 hour access is nice but like another user mentioned, often the packages just end up in random places in the secure room and you have to go on a hunt to find them. Not a huge deal, I guess.

You're thinking of a private/residential Amazon Locker, which do exist (there's one in the student halls near me). I suspect that Amazon install them for free if there's enough people likely to use it. Amazon Hub is a different product.

> Luxer One solves 100% of apartment's package problems Am I wrong or does their main headline have some serious singular/plural issues?

  All apartments or all packages?

  I feel like it should either drop the 's or say, "your apartment's package problems".
