(12,403 posts)and actually, according to their alerts and emails, consisted of a partial day plus 2 full days, not a partial day plus 3 full days like their website led me to believe. Like I'd get an alert at 4pm Monday that it was delivered and I had to pick it up by Wednesday end of day.
This was back in October. I haven't used one since.
I would very happily use an Amazon locker location if I had a 3 weeks window (even one week window would be great), but sometimes 2 1/2 days just did not work out or was very inconvenient (I don't have a car and its 3 miles away).
Usually I order about 6 items and they get delivered in 3 or 4 separate deliveries (sigh), even though I do the free delivery which has the longest estimated delivery times (I'm not a Prime member). I would think that would give them the maximal opportunity to group items together for the smallest number of deliveries, thus saving them delivery expenses, and would help a little bit with the dire greenhouse gas disaster situation. But I would be mistaken, apparently.
If I had a 3 week window, that would be plenty of time for all the separate deliveries to be made, and I could pick them up in one trip (usually the 3 or 4 separate deliveries occur within a week of the first one's arrival).
