I wish that Amazon would partner with Walmart and put lockers in Walmarts, many of which are open 24 hours. Heck, Walmart could use them too for their ship-to-store items.
It would be a huge benefit for us rural folk. Now that mud season has arrived, UPS and Fedex won’t drive down our road again until summer. Assuming they can find us in the first place...
Actually, if the USPS wasn’t so darned bone-headed, they could make a killing on this. But they insist on renting a box whether you need it regularly or not, and they won’t allow UPS/Fedex to deliver to their facilities.
If there was just a box at the post office (which is already open in the PO Box area) into which I put a one-time use code and could retrieve my package, they would never have to drop packages at my house again - I’d be happy to come get them.

our local walmart already has an automated locker robot for stuff you buy online that is shipped to the store. it’s like a giant 25 foot tall automat that delivers your package to a portal when you type in your order number at the keypad ...
