Shopping over the Internet is becoming increasingly popular, but with the pace of life that we lead today, it is difficult to be at home waiting for our package to arrive. Amazon is aware of this problem, so it offers us a series of collection points that we can use to avoid having to be at home waiting for our package to arrive. This article explains how you can find and use Amazon collection points.
WHAT ARE AMAZON COLLECTION POINTS, AND HOW DO THEY WORK?
Buying on Amazon has become incredibly simple, so we can receive all kinds of products at home, including some as large as sofas and shelves, without traveling by car.
The problem arises when we cannot be at home waiting for the delivery man to arrive, without forgetting the possibility that our package may be delayed and arrive at the worst possible time.
Amazon innovated and offered us a series of collection points that we can use to avoid disturbing our friends and family.
Amazon collection points are usually Post Offices, kiosks, service stations, and other places where we can have our Amazon packages arrive. These places are open to the public for many hours a day, so we will not have the problem that no one is waiting for the carrier.
All you will have to do is pick up your package when it suits you best, with the only requirement that you will need to bring your ID so that they can verify your identity. Generally, the collection points offer 15 days to pick up your package. After that limit, it will be returned to Amazon.
HOW TO USE AMAZON PICKUP POINTS
When you buy a product on Amazon, you can have the package sent to the address you specify, be it your own house, a neighbor, or a relative. Amazon offers an additional option: sending the package to a collection point, so we can pick it up when our pace of life allows us.
If we use a collection point, Amazon will email us when the package arrives at its destination, letting us know that we can pick it up. The period available to look for your purchase will begin to run at that moment.
If we select the option to send the package to a collection point, a list of the closest Amazon collection points to our current position will be displayed. When we locate what interests us, we click the ” Send to this address ” button.
The system also offers us a map and a search engine that we can use to locate collection points by zip code, address, or nearby points of interest.
Amazon allows us to specify the name of the person who will go to the collection point for the package. This will be great for us if we can’t attend, and a family friend can do us a favor. Remember to notify them that they must bring their ID to receive the package.
It is important to note that, to use Amazon collection points, it must be a product sold directly by Amazon since products offered by other sellers within Amazon are incompatible. Amazon offers us a list of all the products compatible with this system.
