Why don't you have the packages delivered to your office?
I have done this for some smaller items. But it just is not an option for larger or heavier items. Here is why: When I get done with work I walk 20 minutes to the train, Ride the train for 40 minutes, walk to my car, then drive 45 more minutes. Or I can drive to work and pay obscene parking, and deal with a bridge that has a lineup to cross it 18 hours a day, on a highway with extensive construction along most of my route. (Vancouver, BC, Canada. Port Mann Bridge in case anyone cares.) This is not going to change any time soon. My skills mean I will have to work in the downtown core. My lifestyle, and housing prices mean I will live far outside the downtown core. UPS and FedEx still suck! Someone needs to start a delivery service that delivers at night. (I would pay extra.)
Ask your local 7-11 to accept packages for you. If you live in an uncivilized environment without a 7-11, you should have one delivered to you so that you can sell slurpies to snotnosed children, cigarettes to miscreants, and mad dog to horny teenagers.
