The Amazon Locker...?

Amazon is a very interesting company to begin with. Like Apple and Google, Amazon has created an online shopping and exploring experience. It always amazes me at what the new invention of the week is. This week its Amazon Lockers. What are they you might be asking. They are essentially a PO BOX just with out the fee and PO part.
According to the article Amazon has not yet decided to really go all out with their locker system. They are just in testing mode only found in Seattle and New York thus far. So how it works is you order something off their site and depending on where you are located you can choose to have it shipped to a Amazon Locker near you which are conveniently located in random stores that we already use on a regular basis. How sweet is that. Its essentially Amazon turned FedEx. If you would like more information please use the attached link and you will find the article with a video too. What are your thoughts?
