Staples, Radioshack pull Amazon lockers

StapšŸ… les and RadioShack have removed Amazon.com lockers from their stores after the partnership failed to meet expectationšŸƒs.

The retailers began testing a system last year in which Amazon shoppers could have a Web order delivered to a store and then pick it up for no extra cost. ą¹ŠThis allowed customers, especially urban apartment dwellers, to avoid having to be home to recź§ƒeive a package or risking a delivery being stolen.

Staples šŸøended the test after it ā€œdidnā€™t meet the criteria we set up together,ā€ said Demos Parneros, Staples president of North American stores and online. A Rą¦“adioShack spokeswoman said it didnā€™t fit with company strategy.
