When you order an item from Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), you can choose to have the package delivered to a locker nearest to you. When the package arrives at the designated locker, you will receive a digital code via text or email to go pick it up. Once you are there, you enter the code on the touch screen and the door containing your package opens. If you want to return the package, you can also use the lockers to do so.
The location must have a minimum of six linear feet, visible and well lit, as well as be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant - with t least a 36″ clearance.
How to Become an Amazon Locker Host
The infrastructure needs to have a standard 110v 15a circuit. If the lockers are going to be indoors, they will be plugged directly into an outlet. For an outdoor installation, they must use hard-wired electrical lines. You won't need a wired data line because the lockers use cellular modems.
The Pros and Cons of Hosting an Amazon Locker
If you are a small business owner running a convenience store, coffee shop, gas station or other similar operation, there are a lot of positives to having the lockers. They bring in people to your place of business and that can translate into sales. This is why 7-Eleven continues to increase the number of lockers the company hosts across the country.
As to getting paid by Amazon for hosting the lockers, it has been reported Amazon offers some stipends, but in most cases, the lockers are placed for free.
The Amazon Locker can be considered a loss-leader to get more people coming into your business. As a small business owner, you have to determine how much of the foot traffic is actually generating income. If it is more than what you could earn with added products or services in the space the lockers take up, it might be a great option for you.
