Impressions of using Amazon Hub Locker

Araki, a Sanel employee who used the Hub Locker this time, gave us his impressions...

Araki

In my case, there was a Hub locker about 3 minutes on foot, and I could walk or bike to get it.
I'm often away from home, so I feel it's convenient to be able to pick it up whenever I want.

However, even if you enter a locker, if the size of the box to be packed is larger than expected, it may be difficult to walk or bicycle.

Even if you can use a locker, depending on the product size, it is recommended to go to pick it up by car.

Also, the moment the locker opened with a click, I felt a little happy.
