Packages on the run

The Norwegian computer-parts retailer Komplett has added a new way to reach customers: an automated post-office in a box

They have two, in co-operation with the Norwegian Postal Service, one near their offices and one at the Central Station in Oslo - so rahter than either paying extra to have it delivered to your door, or stressing quite a bit to get to your local postoffice by 5 o'clock - you can just stop by on the way home from work (or after other downtown shopping in the weekend) and pick it up.

Just as good as 7-11 in Japan doing handouts and returns for selected e-tailers? Not quite, but quite fun concept none the less
