I actually think lockers are more convenient because I don't even have to think about the day and time. I just pick up my package when it's convenient.

I also imagine customized delivery times would increase costs and make logistics more difficult. The only place I know offhand that has customized delivery times is Tokyo, so I wonder how they manage. Probably more affordable in a high density area with couriers.

They do customized delivery times all over Japan, not only in Tokyo. Amazon same-day delivery is only in Tokyo though.

Presumably the couriers are low paid too.
