old leases = below market rate? they are already well distributed for ten zillion amazon lockers?
it doesn't seem so far fetched to me; amazon being able to pick up a bunch of cheap space in fell swoop.
- ChuckMcM 12y agoThat is what I was thinking, a lot of Amazon lockers. And to be honest Radio has the 'components' space to itself in most places. I could see making it work if it was also connected to the giant hose that is Amazon's supply chain.
- libria 12y agoHaving used Amazon Lockers a lot, I don't really get it. If you don't want a package sitting on your doorstep all day, have it delivered to work. And Lockers has a maximum size limit that I hit every so often that negated that option. Having it show up at my desk is a lot more convenient. Now if I could return packages through Lockers, then I'd be game.
- hdctambien 12y agoSo, just have the UPS guy come to McDonalds to deliver your package while you're working? Not everyone works in an office...
- te0006 12y agoHere in Germany we have a nationwide network of those: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packstation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packstation like a 24/7 automated post office. Great for getting _and returning_ shipments not just from Amazon but from most any online merchant.
- chiph 12y agoThe people working in the mail-room here started objecting to the number of Amazon packages arriving each day (non-business time spent, etc. etc.) so no more at-work deliveries. :(
- untog 12y agoNot everyone has the option of having stuff delivered to work. For me, my (large company) mailroom has a habit of taking about two days to actually get your mail to you, so the Locker at the end of the block is ideal for me.
