The Amazon lockers are a service that the online shopping giant makes available to those users who, for various reasons, do not wish or cannot receive their orders at home. In other words, it is an excellent solution for those cases in which you place an order and you know you will not be at home to receive it.
Amazon Lockers are available in more than 30 Spanish cities and have flexible schedules.
Using Amazon’s lockers means having to pick up your packages at one of the lockers provided. These are usually located at gas stations, shopping malls, Telepizza branches, etc. This option is convenient for those who prefer to pick up their packages with complete autonomy and security. In addition, for Amazon Prime customers, the service is free of charge.
However, Amazon lockers cannot receive large items, packages or boxes. Likewise, there are other conditions of the service that we will review below along with a brief step-by-step to learn how to use it and have one more alternative for your Prime Day, Black Friday, Cyber Monday or any time of the year shopping.
