Redpine Signals combines WiFi ac, Bluetooth 4.0, Zigbee in the main ARM SoC

Amazon Locker Delivery at the 7-Eleven in San Francisco

Posted by – December 1, 2012

Amazon is offering a Locker Delivery service to receive packages faster and simpler, just go to your local 7-Eleven and get your Amazon package there within a day or two from you ordering on their website. The experience is smooth and simple. I think Amazon is testing this in San Francisco and in a few other cities before extending this to more cities worldwide. This does potentially allow for faster and cheaper shipping, with less trouble receiving the package, you can just go pick it up at any time after you receive the package delivery confirmation per email, it’s practical so you don’t have to stay at home waiting for the package the whole day. Google just acquired BufferBox which does the same.
