The hub: amazon smart mailboxes

When we place an order on Amazon, waiting for the package to arrive is somewhat annoying for many people. Especially if you have to watch for the messenger to ring your bell. From Amazon they also seem to be aware of the problem. So they bring a solution: The Hub.

The Hub: Amazon's smart mailboxes

The Hub are Amazon's smart mailboxes. They are mailboxes where you will be able to receive your correspondence directly. Any package you have ordered will be delivered directly to that mailbox. The idea is for The Hub to be installed in residential buildings. Generally at the entrance.

The Hub in the United States

These mailboxes are reminiscent of station slogans in some way. They come available in 4 colors and various sizes, which adapt to each building. In addition, it is possible to add additional compartments if the original model is too small.

The idea is that the user stops being pending about the arrival of the package. Thus, when the shipment is ready, it will be delivered directly to said mailbox. When the user returns home, simply open the mailbox by entering a code and pick up your package. A very comfortable solution that can undoubtedly make life much easier for users. And it is also safe, since it will be Amazon who gives you the code to access The Hub.

The Hub is currently only available in the United States. Mainly to test its usefulness, operation and acceptance among users. Nothing has been mentioned about his possible arrival in other countries, although Amazon may reveal data on that soon. What do you think about this idea?
