Amazon Expands Pickup Network In US

Amazon has announced the expansion of Counter, a service that offers customers the option to pick up their Amazon packages at a partner location across the US.

The online giant has teamed up with GNC, Health Mart and Stage Stores to expand its pickup network by thousands of locations.

No Extra Cost

The pickup service, which is available on all same-day, one-day, two-fay and standard shipping delivery services, is available at no extra cost to customers, Amazon said.

“The response we’ve heard from our customers and partners after the launch of Counter earlier this year has been tremendous,” explains Patrick Supanc, Worldwide Director of Amazon Hub.

“This new network of pickup points gives customers a pickup experience that is fast, flexible and convenient, and partners are thrilled with the strong engagement and additional foot traffic Counter is driving for their stores," he added.
