Online shopping is an incredible money and time-saver, but unfortunately actually receiving an Amazon delivery can be a bit of a hassle. In order to remedy this, Amazon is working with Transport for London to introduce boxes at the Finchley Central and Newbury Park tube stations where people can pick up their online orders.
Instead of winding up inside old ticket booths as rumored months ago, these package pickup stations are now situated inside car parks. The stations are small, but are probably just the right size to hold various packages. Plus, it's bright yellow, so they wouldn't be too difficult to locate. Next week, London Amazon shoppers will be able to access these "click-and-collect lockers," making the whole shopping experience better suited to your personal schedule right from start to finish.
