Eight locker locations are available for package delivery on the retailer’s online checkout system in New York., including lockers installed at selected Gristedes, Rite-Aid and D’Agostino stores in Manhattan.

Currently, the system appears to be in limited testing for now, not yet available to all Amazon.com customers. Amazon goes ahead very carefully and would like to test the delivery locker fully before covering all. Check your Amazon address book to see if it lets you “Search for a Locker Location” to add as a shipping destination.

Besides US, Amazon Lockers have also in UK., where the delivery locker system is now working well.

The e-commerce giant hasn’t yet talked about the initiative publicly, but the purpose is very visible. It is to offer online shoppers more convenience for package delivery and picking. . As a upgrading service options, the company is believed to be testing the lockers as an alternative means of delivery for customers who aren’t able to have packages sent to their homes or businesses.

It’s conceivable that Amazon could leverage its own Amazon Fresh vehicles to deliver to the Amazon Locker system at some point in the future, creating essentially a complete delivery infrastructure of its own. That grocery delivery service has been tested for the past four years in Seattle.
