Staples, RadioShack Yank Amazon Lockers From Stores

Staples Inc. and RadioShack Corp. have removed Amazon.com Inc. lockers from their stores about a year after starting the program as competition stiffens with the online retailer.
The chains began testing a system last year in which Amazon shoppers could have a Web order delivered to a store and then pick it up for no extra cost. This allowed customers, especially urban apartment dwellers, to avoid being home to receive a package or risking a delivery being stolen because it had to be dropped off on a doorstep or in a lobby.
