Amazon Lockers Expand to Over 750 Colleges Nationwide
Amazon has expanded its locker service to over 750 colleges and universities across the country. The lockers offer students a secure, self-service location to pick up their Amazon packages, providing a convenient way for them to receive orders close to where they live and study.
According to Amazon, students can get eligible orders delivered to campus Lockers at no additional cost. They will receive an email with instructions on how to open the locker and hold the package there for three days.
College students also have the option to sign up for Prime for Young Adults, a membership that costs $7.49 per month or $69 annually. This plan requires customers to share their driver's license, passport, or identity card to confirm their age.
Viraj Chatterjee, Vice President of Amazon Transportation, stated, 'College students are constantly on the move, and picking up a package should fit into their day, not the other way around.' He added that expanding Amazon Locker across college campuses nationwide puts secure package pickup directly into the flow of campus life.
