In NL you can deliver your package to a drop off point near your house. Usually these are supermarkets or other kind of shops. I always pick my local supermarket which is anyway on my way home. It is open until 22.00 on working days so no issues there.
It is not like this Amazon box but it does also not have the other things to worry about (packages arriving on holidays and costs surcharged thereafter). The shops get a little extra earnings and they handle sending back etc. When not picked up. The service is free of charge for customers.
I guess Amazon box would be a tad more convenient to go to as they are at your doorstep (every single house is their intention, didn't get the site really?) but to be honest, you are visiting your supermarkets anyway. At least in NL where they are close. US might be a bit different here due to distance? Though you can do other shops as well, and usually there is one within say 1-2km.

So in the future, you might not be visiting a supermarket at all, or if you are, it might be owned by Amazon anyway.
