We are already behind the curve when it comes to parcel lockers as our competitors already have them. As regards the parcel locker that I've posted it is already available for customers to buy on Amazon and I'm sure that they are already delivering them.

Off topic, Amazon will have made billions of pounds from black Friday worldwide and there is a petition demanding that the government close tax loopholes on Amazon.

Amazon pay their 'last mile' workers terrible wages for the work they do and offload the trickiest 'last mile' deliveries onto other companies for a pittance, one of the many reasons they make billions every year. Oh wait... :hmmmm

No idea why Amazon need parcel lockers.... they doorstep everything.... or fling it over your gate or hedge.... never have I ever had to sign for an Amazon parcel....

We must be one of very few couriers who ask for signatures anymore. Since when did you have to sign for a parcel from AMAZON, DPD, DHL, EVRI, YODEL... I haven't had to, even for expensive items, some over £100, some of which were recently delivered by DPD and left on doorstep...

Excellent service, no need to be home for delivery, no need to collect anything, they take the risk themselves leaving a £130 cabinet on my doorstep.

I've not had to sign for a parcel since Covid. Normally they take a photo of it in the open doorway, a few times you give the driver a one-time code
