In France we have such a system, "Point relais Kiala", not every internet shop allows it as an option but all the bigger ones do including amazon france.
I can get my delivery to about 5 different places within a 10 minutes walk radius of me, and the advantage are numerous: no need to be there for an entire to sign because they can't tell you when it will happen, no "you weren't there I put the notification paper and you have to get your package at the post office" (leaving the package in front is not a thing like it seems to be in the US), real ability to check your package before signing, more reliable delivery time, .... And cost is the same as a regular delivery.
It just is much better overall. And for Premium subscriber, it's free just like regular delivery options.
- _delirium 13y agoThe German and Danish post offices offer this as an opt-in choice for postal package delivery. You indicate that you want your packages delivered to a kiosk instead of your house, and anything bigger than a regular envelope that's mailed to you will go there instead. That way the stores you order from don't even have to agree to ship to the kiosk; you can order from Amazon.co.uk, who don't know anything about Danish postal kiosks, have it addressed to your street address, and it'll go to the kiosk instead.
