Postal Lockers Make Online Sales Safer | Birmingham News
Description
The USPS just launched Local Xchange — a smart locker system that lets you safely buy and sell stuff online without ever meeting strangers. Drop off your item at a participating post office, send the buyer a QR code, and they scan it to unlock their package. Five days to pick up, 15 days max before it’s returned to you. It costs $5.51 per transaction, and only works if the locker is within 50 miles of the seller. No fireworks, live animals, or hazardous goods allowed — but for local Facebook Marketplace deals? This is your new safe, easy option.
