A few weeks ago, I walked to my local Rite-Aid and noticed this large, grey contraption near the entrance, bearing the words “Amazon Locker”. There was a little television screen in the middle of the structure. As soon as I got home, I jumped on the internet to figure out what the heck it was. Turns out, it’s a new delivery method for receiving your Amazon.com orders. Amazon has been testing it out in various parts of the country and NYC is the next area.
Now, it may seem like a rather pointless idea when you can just have your goods shipped to your home. However, if you live in an apartment building in NYC and you don’t happen to have doorman, receiving deliveries can be somewhat of a pain. I try not to receive too many packages at work so I’m often stuck having to wait until the weekend to retrieve my package from the post office. So for me, it’s useful. Sort of a free post office box with hours to fit my work schedule.
I decided to test the service by ordering Post-it Flag + Highlighter & Pen with the new black barrels. This version is very similar to other versions of the Post-it Flag + Highlighter & Pen models. The only real difference is in the aesthetics. Instead of a barrel with sparkles or squiggly lines, the barrel is black with small silver dots. Then pen is a much more modern looking pen than the others and is far more appealing to me. I use them at work on a regular basis.
The pen performs like similar pens. The ink is nice and black and the highlighter works well. I like larger Post-it tabs but these will do in a pinch.
If the Amazon Locker comes to you area, you should check it out. And if you like the Post-it Flag + Highlighter & Pen, check out the new design. Thus far, I’ve only seen the pens on Amazon.
