I've heard of people referring to getting stuff delivered to Amazon Lockers when on the road , my question is in order to get stuff delivered to an Amazon locker do you have to of purchased said items from Amazon ?
 
yes, for amazon lockers, but there are also InPost lockers that work with Evri and other carriers and collections at shops using Doddle, UPS and Yodel
 
Yes it is easy to spend your money these days from your sofa :giggle: I was in a pub recently and I was embarrassed as I had forgotten how to use a card machine, it's been so long since I actually went out to buy something in person.

I had to go to the bank the other day to pay an old £20 paper note into my account, I’ve got a tenner in my wallet which has been there for donkeys, I just don't use cash now… my card is used for everything
 
I know, I have cash in my wallet, been there for years. Nobody wants it. Think I will do what you have done and put it in the bank and use my card (y) who'd have thought it eh ? me nan would never have believed it.

Some post offices act as collection points for some carriers as well.
 
I almost never use cash now, but I do buy a few things for my neighbour and she pays me in cash so I have cash in my wallet I keep forgetting to spend 🙃

I think I heard/read that Argos is shutting its own shops.
I used cash the other day for a shop purchase and it felt quite odd as I have only used a card for…..years?!?
 
Thanks all for the info , just as I thought , wishful thinking that you could buy something from eBay and then collect it in an Amazon locker :cool:
 
I only use my cards now IF my phone app (Google pay) isn't accepted.
I was always reluctant to set up the app but it's very secure.

It depends on the seller and how it is sent. Have a look at the item on ebay and see what delivery options there are. As others have said, there are other pick up points these days than Amazon lockers.

Took me a while to accept and download Google Pay as well pappajohn but once swipe limit went up to £100 I was converted.
However still feel need to carry my card "just in case".

I set up Google pay but Tesco bank will not let me use their card, as I only got the card to save points for the tunnel it's a choice between the points and the convenience of the app
 
I had thought of setting up a 'Delivery Point' business a few years ago.

From the info above I am glad I did not if the 'big boys' are doing it for nothing, or is there a charge?
 
I buy all my beer in the pub with CASH ..
That way it does not show on a statement and i think i'm drinking less. :doh: :whistle2: :rofl:

It's "free" if you are on Amazon Prime, which you have to pay for :giggle:

Unless postage free as part of the price, or on Amazon Prime, charge for delivery to pickup point normally similar to delivery at home. However it is more convenient if you are not likely to be at home. Often the pick up points are at local open all hours shops - not quite as secure as an Amazon locker as all the parcels dumped on the floor and the shop assistant has to hunt through them. All done by bar code tracking though.

I ordered something from Argos and had it delivered to my local Sainsburys. There are lots of options nowadays.

Are there any left I’ve only seen them in Sainsbury’s lately

Sainsbury's now own Argos.

When they have both an Argos shop and a Sainsbury's store in close proximety to each other it tends to be the Argos shop that's closed unless there's insufficient warehousing capacity in the Sainsbuty store to handle the increased Argos throughput.

Same here. The only time we need cash these days is when eating in an Indian or Chinese restaurant. How do they get away with it?🤣🤣
 
Other ways of getting stuff when out on the road is using EBay, as quite a lot of sellers offer click and collect. So just select a place which you would be near.
 
Btw if I order an item and specify that I will pick it up at the locker , how long do I have to collect it from the locker ?

The lockers are also useful for high-value items (like mobile phones), where you'd have to sign on receipt. As the locker only opens on a code sent to you, they treat that as proof that the account holder received it - so you don't have to be in when the Amazon person comes around. High value or commonly stolen items they won't leave in a safe place or with a neighbour.
