>Amazon has "Amazon Lockers", which let me accept deliveries at a time convenient to me, with no human interaction.

So, just like a post office box?

Not to mention that the raise of companies like Amazon and the "on demand" mentality is the one that forces people to not have more regular hours "convenient to them".

Post office boxes are expensive, require filling in an application form, and require human interaction to access the contents. Amazon Lockers are included in the normal "free" delivery, require no paperwork, and are completely automated.
