'The Hub' by Amazon is an all-new delivery locker designed specifically for residential buildings that is set to make it easier for consumers to receive parcels ordered online.
Over the past few years, Amazon has experimented with the installation of "click and collect" lockers in various public places for the purposes of helping web shoppers securely and conveniently pick up their ordered items. The Hub sets itself apart from these models by addressing a common problem faced by tenants, especially those who live in buildings without concierge or management services.
When it comes time for a consumer to securely pick up their ordered item, they may enter a passcode via The Hub's touchscreen panel. Amazon notes that The Hub may be customized and ordered in a range of sizes in both indoor and outdoor versions.
