After testing Amazon Locker close to the Seattle home office in select 7-Elevens, the online retailer has now expanded its new package delivery system to New York City. SlashGear reported that there "are eight locker systems in each of the major cities. The idea is that the lockers could be used to deliver packages bought from Amazon rather than having them shipped to a person's residence or office."
Engadget, which tracked down one of the post office-style lockers in Seattle last month, noted yesterday that if you are in an area offering this option, you can add a locker location to your address book, then "your package will be crammed into one of these kiosks and you'll be given a code to unlock a particular slot at the location of your choice. So far there are eight scattered around Manhattan in Rite Aids, D'Agostinos and Gristedes."
