Order your office supplies from Amazon, pick them up at Staples with upcoming lockers

Order your office supplies at Amazon, pick them up at Staples with upcoming Amazon lockers

Amazon lockers have been popping up at 7-eleven stores and UK retailers, but now they’re arriving at what seems like a conflicted destination: bricks and mortar (and online) arch-competitor, Staples. The service allows shoppers who missed a delivery to head over to a locker and nab their packages using a 72-hour code, with the host retailer keeping a small fee in return. But there aren’t too many items at Staples that you can’t also find at Amazon, so we hope the office supply giant got a sweetheart deal.

As Zatz Not Funny notes, Amazon has yet to officially list the market under the service, but at least four locations are searchable — and the site did find one more that’s currently off the radar.
