They've been test marketing that in Texas for awhile with Express.

I picked up a FedEx package from the bodega down the street. Very weird.

Both FedEx and UPS are starting to do that. Customers are not happy about it.

Yeah who wants some additional stranger holding on to your stuff?
It will be fine

Depends which customer. Shippers probably like their stuff showing delivered on time. Recipients probably hate having to go pick stuff up, but no one in charge cares about recipients.

We only leave packages at our access point once the customer asks for it. On my route, they like it much better than picking it up at the station since it is a 20 minute further drive.
I'd say 95% of the stuff I leave at my access drop are already reattempts that needed a signature of some sort. Nice to not have to bring them back to the station and the customer can get them with more convenient hours. Not to mention less packages/customers that the CSAs have to deal with.

At least it's not radio shack... with dumb bankers hours since no one goes there in the first place
Walgreen locations around my area are open 24 hours... good for me since I don't have time commitments to drop off any customers' parcels.
Good for them to get their parcels from a safe location with cameras rolling...
Win win for those ghetto areas, cough, high~risk areas

It's job elimination.

Similar to what the USPS has been doing with its Contract Postal Units. Imperfect but not a bad idea.
Until we don't have a job

They aren't cutting existing positions to do this.

U still need a driver to get those parcels to those "access points"
the parcels don't get teleported out of my truck when a customer clicks that option on the website or calls in that 800 #... yet

Somebody really needs to stick a fork in that place.
I've been into our local RS maybe 3 times in the past 5 years, and always just to grab some low profit item such as heat shrink tubing. Each time there have been two people in the store - myself and the sole employee behind the counter. Ridiculously sad. Don't know how they stay in biz.
