The basic idea is that Amazon will delivery to one of listed the lockers available in your area and keep the items there and provide you with a passcode to the locker for pick up.
First of all, you need to add a locker to your address book.
These are the steps provided by Amazon:
Add an Amazon Locker location through Your Account:
- Go to Manage Address Book in Your Account
- Click the Search for a Locker location button
- Search by zip code, address, or landmark when prompted to select an address
- Click Select to add the location to your Address Book
Frankly, I tried to navigate to "Manage Adress Book" and can not locate the "Search for a Locker" option. But using the link Search for a Locker it bring me to the right place.
You should be able to see this:
After entering some criteria, a list of nearby lockers are shown.
All you have to do is to select the locker(s) you want, and they will be added to your address book.
Now you should be all set and ready to check out the items!
However there questions came immediately in my mind is how long can the item be kept there for? or since we are only going to be staying in the states over the weekend, it is possible that the item fail to be delivered between the time frame for us.
I will go over my check out experience in the next post.
