Amazon will now deliver to local shops in some areas. I've used that
service amnd found that it works very well. An email is sent to you when
the item is ready for collection, take some ID and sign for it. In my
case the shop is a dawn-to-dusk type place.

Other supply companies are available.


Amazon Lockers kick ass too - just need to have more of them -
especially at main London railway stations (bringing the thread back on
topic). Their lack of appearance at places like Charing Cross is very
conspicuous.

It would be extremely convenient to grab your package prior to getting
your homeward bound train as you'll probably have a car or be within
easy walking distance at the other end.

Also be nice to grab smaller items on the way into work too.
