Over the past few years, Amazon has experimented with the installation of "[click and collect" lockers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inpost-and-ebay) in various public places for the purposes of helping web shoppers securely and conveniently pick up their ordered items. The Hub sets itself apart from these models by addressing a common problem faced by tenants, especially those who live in buildings without concierge or management services. When it comes time for a consumer to securely pick up their ordered item, they may enter a passcode via The Hub's touchscreen panel. Amazon notes that The Hub may be customized and ordered in a range of sizes in both indoor and outdoor versions. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Residential Delivery Lockers:** The rise of residential delivery lockers presents an opportunity for businesses to tap into the growing demand for secure and convenient parcel collection in residential buildings. - **Click and Collect Lockers:** Click and collect lockers continue to gain popularity as an innovative solution for consumers to pick up their online orders hassle-free. - **Customizable Delivery Solutions:** The trend towards customizable delivery locker solutions allows businesses to cater to the unique needs of different residential buildings and customer preferences. ### Who This Affects Most - **E-commerce:** The e-commerce industry stands to benefit from incorporating residential delivery lockers as a way to improve customer satisfaction and increase order fulfillment efficiency. - **Property Management:** Property management companies can leverage residential delivery lockers to offer an added amenity to tenants, enhancing the overall resident experience. - **Smart Home Technology:** The integration of smart home technology and residential delivery lockers creates opportunities for companies to provide seamless and convenient parcel delivery solutions for homeowners. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dedicated Residential Delivery Doors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parcel-safe.md) - [Accessible Delivery Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auspost.md) - [Connected Package Delivery Safes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doorbox-smart-delivery-box.md) - [Connected Porch Package Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-delivery-box.md) - [IoT Package Delivery Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyve-home-delivery-pod.md) - [Outdoor Food Lockers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exterior-smart-food-locker.md) - [Smart Food Lockers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orderhq-exterior-smart-food-locker.md) - [Solar-Powered Smart Parcel Lockers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quadient-x-series-lockers.md) - [eCommerce Brand Package Lockers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inpost-and-ebay.md)
