You can now collect Amazon parcels from Next

For those who always seem to be out when a parcel arrives, Amazon is now delivering to a high street shop to make it a bit easier.

Amazon has launched a new service called Amazon Counter which will allow customers to collect parcels from pick-up points inside the stores of high street retailer Next.

Launching at hundreds of Next stores in the UK, shoppers who use the new system will be able to choose a pick-up point when they reach the check-out on the Amazon website.

Users will receive an email notification and a unique barcode once their parcel has arrived at their chosen store. From that point, they will have 14 days to collect it.

This will be in addition to Amazon Lockers, an alternative self-service delivery option.

Instead of delivering a parcel to your home or business address, you can select an Amazon Locker location and pickup your parcel at a time that's convenient for you.

Next chief executive Lord Wolfson said: "The ability to collect Amazon parcels from hundreds of Next's UK stores provides a helpful and exciting new service for UK consumers.
