In London (and the rest of the UK) many convenience stores have parcel collection services. So when I want something from Amazon I deliver it to the Sainsbury's around the corner from my flat and then collect it when I go to buy food on my way home from work.

My gf pointed those out in passing but remarked "no one's using them."

Really? I live in Tanjong Pagar Plaza, we have a post office / popstation in the community area, and use them all the time, every time I go collect stuff I see other people collecting things.
Strange to hear no one uses them.
Granted, post offices are beginning to hold less and less now, cutting costs I guess, which may be increasing the usage.
