Sure. They’re fine and easy to use. I use them when I’m on the road. They’re also great for returns. We have a lot around my town.

Yeah, they’re nice to use. We used them a lot during the holidays. Nice safe way to make sure no packages get stolen off the front porch. And they usually have a lot of locations near where you live.

Yea as long as it is in a convenient location. They're easy to use. You just swipe a barcode on your cell phone, and the locker unlocks. I think that's how it works. It's been a year or two since I used one.

Otherwise, it's just as easy to get it delivered to your house. Unless you have a lost/theft problem.

Another reason to use them is to prevent a gift receiver from seeing their gift.

Funny story, I was curious once and looked for my closest locker. Website said it was at Pasha in the local mall. Next time I was at the mall I searched everywhere for this store, and there was nothing with a name even close. Next visit, I walk by the bank of lockers and see that the lockers themselves are named Pasha.

Never thought of using them if I needed something while I was out of town, but that's not a bad idea.

If you have something delivered to a hotel, the hotel usually charges you. I figure this is both cheaper and safer.

There's one that is two blocks away, well within walking distance. Except it's in one of those local convenience market places that just screams weird.

it was pretty easy. Only problem is you have to pick up within 3 days or it gets returned. So if you’re out of town, think about that...

Nothing within hundreds of miles from me.

The one time I needed a camera battery charger at a hotel (mine broke) the hotel didn't charge a fee.

I got a code in a email and entered it at the 7/11 site and a door in the locker opened and I picked up my package.

No more worrying about your packages being stolen.
