Amazon Lockers: A Game Changer for Appalachian Trail Thru-Hikers

Amazon lockers along the Appalachian Trail provide thru-hikers an easy way to resupply gear, food, and supplies. Learn how Prime delivery to trailside lockers simplifies logistics.

Amazon lockers outside shop allow easy access to online resupplies

A new concept for thru-hikers on the Appalachian Trail is taking advantage of Amazon Lockers to order resupplies of their food and supplies.

Located along the trail, these lockers provide an easy and convenient way for hikers to restock without carrying heavy packages for hundreds of miles.

What Are Amazon Lockers and How Do They Work?

Amazon has added locker locations to drop packages for people to pick up securely. They aren't available in all places, and many may be inside buildings, but they can give you a solid delivery location while on the trail.

This makes them much easier to pick up than ship something home to have family or friends relay it to you on the trail. These lockers are secure; only the person with the pickup code can access them.

They aren't like post office boxes in that they don't give you a key, and you get an electronic PIN code that grants one-time access to your locker.

Benefits of Amazon Lockers for Thru-Hiker Resupply

There are many benefits to a Prime subscription, but these are a few key reasons why it makes sense for a thru-hiker to look at a Prime subscription as a valuable cost for the year on the trail and afterward.

1. Easy Pickup

The ability to get items shipped to the now far more common Amazon lockers means that you can pick up your resupply without worrying about it being lost in the mail or stolen if you have to mail something ahead.

⌛
This saves a lot of time and effort that would be spent trying to track down items, especially since online shopping requires just a few clicks for most people today.

2. Quick Delivery

Amazon has next-day or two-day delivery for nearly everything, in my experience. You can have a resupply of just about anything delivered in a day or two, depending on where you are.

This makes replacing a gear item or similar much less expensive in many cases than a local gear shop for planned items, like shoes.

3. Wide Range of Goods

There is an option for nearly any gear or food item for sale on Amazon, and thru-hikers have to eat just like anyone else, so why not add more to resupply with a more straightforward pickup coming into town?

It makes sense to have a lighter-weight alternative shipped ahead in heavy gear to save on pack weight.

When summer and deep heat hits you want a lighter quilt, grab something like this Warm Camping Blanket while maybe bouncing the warmer one forward.

4. Low Cost Of Resupply Items

We all know things on the trail end up having a hiker tax applied to them, like instead of 10 cent ramen, it's $1. Purchasing these in bulk on faster delivery could save a lot in the end.

💡
Amazon Prime could save you hundreds over the town trips and cut down the costs of sending things to the local post office or Amazon locker.

Refunds Automatically If Unable To Pickup in 3 Days

Per Amazon's website at the time of writing, delivered packages will be held for three days, and if not picked up, they will be sent back, and you will be given a full refund, making this ideal if you end up skipping past the town.

Benefits Of Prime

Amazon Prime is a perfect service for a thru-hiker who isn't sure what they may need along the trail, as it provides the ability to get items delivered to many lockers along the trail. Click here to start a 30-day trial and see the value firsthand!

1. Prime Shipping

This gives you next-day or two-day delivery to an Amazon Locker along the trail, making it much more convenient than having to plan ahead four days in most cases.

2. Prime Video (Downloadable)

Most people realize eventually they want to watch or at least listen to things on the trail and Amazon Prime Video has downloadable videos that make it easy to watch on a phone.

3. Prime Music (Downloadable)

Similar to the video above, the Amazon music app has downloadable content that can be played offline, making it great for when you're in the middle of nowhere without cell data service.

4. Amazon Fresh

Amazon fresh allows better delivery of fresh produce to Amazon lockers, getting them delivered when available.

I could find no reliable information on Amazon Lockers along the trail in the frequent and local towns.

Hopefully, this can help people while actively on the trail or thinking about planning ahead.
