You would certainly want to be cautious with any emails, particularly if they contain a link. I haven't used Amazon Locker so I don't know if a link is provided with those. But definitely check the address the email came from, check the address any link is trying to take you to, and be very skeptical if you aren't expecting delivery instructions (haven't placed any orders or delivery isn't scheduled until next week)

If I had ordered something to be delivered to an Amazon Locker and I received an email telling me when it was scheduled and then a further email saying it was delivered, perhaps confirming it was delivered to the locker location I had chosen, and providing instructions on how to open the locker then I would feel pretty comfortable with it.

Oh! This wasn't an Amazon Locker at all, this was Amazon using USPS to deliver your package and the postal station worker put it into a locker at the postal station.

Yes, for some items (I haven't figured out which items) Amazon will use the USPS for delivery. The USPS does what it does for every package with the possible exception that they may deliver Amazon packages on Sunday. My most recent package went to the postal station but was small enough to fit into my box. Yours was not small enough so they put it into one of the postal station lockers. Not an Amazon Locker, just a locker that is used for larger packages. They put the key in your box and ask that you leave the key in the lock after you retrieve the package.

I have used the Amazon lockers exclusively for years. Delivery is faster if only marginally. The main reason for me is that it foists porch thieves. Plus, when I am away from home (vacation), I just choose another locker in the vicinity of where I am. Unbelievably convenient in my opinion.

Pamela,
If you placed the order, check your app and look at your orders and click on the order details and it will show you the delivery instructions...

If someone else placed the order to be delivered to you, need to ask them for the confirming email
