Every single Amazon locker in central Stoke-on-Trent is full and accepting no new orders…

“This location is temporarily unavailable because it’s full.”

All of them. Even the big one at the main Post Office and the city’s main shopping centre. How can this be? It’s the same for a tiny cheap item or a larger expensive item, so size or price are not the problems. Nor can it be that it’s an item that’s somehow ‘hazardous’ or ‘fragile’.

All lockers have been full for about five days now. Did a chunk of the population just win the Lottery, or something? Or perhaps students are returning, flush with new loan cash?

How are Amazon going to cope at Christmas, if they can’t cope at the start of September?

Update: Still all “full”. Easier to go to M&S at Wolstanton, and cheaper too!
