Here in the UK, petrol (gas) stations are popular Amazon collection points. Lots of them available.

Am I missing something. Why not have the Kindle or whatever delivered to your door? Or a UPS package store? Or a number of other type places where packages are shipped.

In my case, it's because I'm out at work all day, and it's a lot more convenient for me to pick up a package after work from a shop or a petrol station, than to arrange re-delivery for a time that I'll be at home.

But I can definately see the usefulness of this, if I still (will) lived in the City. And I wouldn't leave the 7-11 without a Diet Coke, at the least. |

As someone who no longer works, I could confirm this if I weren't availing myself of my Fifth Amendment right. |

Not to mention the drive. UPS is only 15 or so miles from here (not interstate), Fedex another 12 or so. If you had to drive to the airport, it's easily an hour drive (and most people don't know where it is, on the backside of the airport property, down an odd access road). |
