Lockers for packages is certainly not a novel idea: various postal services and companies have been running similar schemes for a while: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packstation#Similar_systems

Amazon has also had them in the UK, since at least September 2011 (http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/41989/amazon-locker-invades-...) which is almost a year now.

I moved to the UK from the US last December and thought it was a cool idea when I first saw one. Definitely makes sense in a city - more so than suburbs.

It's not an original idea. I even had it 10 years ago, as I'm sure many others did.
