Amazon locker
In my search for locker systems without a card or band or anything of that matter I found that amazon already has pick up points for packages. amazon locker
In these lockers a delivery guy puts the package and writes down in which locker he put the package.
The user will get an e-mail (or text) with a code.
When arriving at the pick up point the user will enter the code and the cubby will open.
The user can get it's package. how this technology exactly works i haven't found out yet, but i'm searching.
Amazon itself says:
" Amazon Lockers are self-service kiosks placed in shopping centers, retail stores, transit stations, and other access points in areas with high package density. Customers select an Amazon Locker as their shipping address, receive a pickup code when the package is delivered, and collect their package at their convenience up to three business days after delivery. Amazon Locker currently services Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle. Locations are also available in Delaware, New Jersey and Virginia." [1]
So the amazon lockers are located at convenience places where people most of the time can access their package.
An example of such a locker can be seen in the picture below. This is a locker in a store in Manhattan.
