Yea but Germany isn't Silicon Valley. So no one cares. Amazon Lockers on the other hand are hyper innovative, because well... er... it's been done stateside. So it must be good. (Even though having lock boxes for each sender is completely inefficient. Do you really want to drive to your Amazon Locker, then your eBay Locker, then your Google Locker... you get the idea?)
- thaumasiotes 13y agoAs I understood the product, your "amazon locker" was your local 7-11. I imagine there's not a major difference in efficiency between having your "amazon locker" at 7-11 along with your conceptually-different "ebay locker", vs having your unified "postal services locker" at 7-11.
