We have this option to redirect parcels to a locker but it's less efficient then just having it delivered. A post service here batches all deliveries for an area together so they can make them all in one trip.
Compare that to each individual family having to drive their own car to the post office and it's clear what is better over all. There is few means to use public transport here however, it's an almost hour trip by bus there and back on a good day vs 15 minutes in a car.
The concept of package lockers works best if you can go there by foot or bike. Then it is now fuel efficient. If you have to drive to the locker it makes the whole thing useless
