The Postal Service is offering customers a way to buy and sell goods by using USPS Smart Lockers.
Called USPS Local XChange, the service allows buyers and sellers who are local to each other to deliver and retrieve items purchased through an online marketplace without having to meet in person.
A seller can book the service through Click-N-Ship and take their item to a Post Office with USPS Smart Lockers. After the seller deposits the item in a locker, the system automatically emails a QR code to the buyer that will allow them to retrieve it.
The service costs $5.51 and the seller must package the item in a box or a poly bag that meets USPS mailing standards.
More information about USPS Local XChange can be found on usps.com.
