ie things you'd think the gammons scaring themselves shitless about the concept would care about

When I order something online (as long as it isn't something huge like a grand piano), it gets delivered to a nearby corner shop or supermarket, either to be held by staff or placed into an automated locker that opens via code you get sent via text message

Very convenient and I don't need to worry about being home when the mailman's at my door and there's less need for delivery vans to drive to specific addresses

I've got a question, do Americans have no awareness of the concept of a Paczkomat? In Poland thanks to InPost they've grown all over the country like mushrooms after it raining. So much so even some backwater villages have them and they operate usually quicker, safer, cheaper, and more reliably than the Polish Post. However it is the countless problems with the Post that makes them better.

Like I know you've mentioned them but I mean the general public, like how alien to them is such a concept? Because honestly I wouldn't be able to live without them.
