Noticed these when I was leaving While Foods this evening. Can any OT ballers give a review?

easy as hell to return.

same label and return as UPS and they give you a code.
you punch in the code.
shove in your box.
get a receipt.
done

Pros: opens later than UPS

Cons: sized box limitations and having to go to whole foods.

It's like a P.O. Box, but for Amazon.

Not sure what kind of review you need. It's not spacious enough to move in, if that is what you are asking.

You can get packages delivered there instead of your home. It's particularly useful if you order something expensive like a cell phone that you are concerned will get stolen from your front door. You can also drop off returns.

Interesting. Seems unnecessary. If your box can fit in the locker, chances are it can fit the blue post office drop boxes, right?

No. There are some large lockers on the bottom.

Assuming this is where the closeted gays get their dildos and astroglide shipped so their wives don’t find out.

Whole Foods is expensive so that means it's white and racist.

Eventually Amazon Prime won't be free 2-day delivery to your house, it will be to an Amazon location.

ETA: But on the other hand, it could also be same day, or 1-day delivery as well. Depends how far you are from the distribution center.

You must have never shopped at the one in Baton Rouge. Whole lot of shoppers there who, shall we say, aren't in the "pumpkin spice" demographic.

It is not free you pay an annual fee, at least until you offset it with enough purchases, and if it will no longer deliver to my house I will no longer be paying for it.

It's free because I pay for Amazon Music and Amazon Video, and get delivery for free.

They're awesome. Full refunds the same day you put your return in one.

They have 'em at all kinds of places in the Bay area. Safeway, 7 Eleven, etc.

You get the full refund when the UPS guy picks up the same box from your office too, without the legwork of going to a drop-off location.

I beleive you have you wait until it arrives at the facility and is opened before the refund is initialized. If you return to the locker or store, it's immediate once scanned.

The Amazon email confirmation of the refund & return receipt upon UPS pickup would indicate otherwise. I've never had it any other way as a prime member and Amazon Visa card holder.

Hey guys.... just raising this topic from the dead 1 year later

Sooo I am just now learning that these things exist... and apparently we had one and it's no longer active?

Can anyone else confirm that the Batonrouge locker has been taken down since last year? I am unable to find it on the Amazon website.

This sure would be a great free alternative to a PO box for those who aren't so fortunate to live in one of them hoity-toity gated complexes

Long story short, your Amazon locker number is actually what becomes your beast number as the legend goes.
