Amazon recruits 5,000 UK corner stores for 'Collect+' delivery service

The "Collect+" scheme is currently on trial but The Telegraph reports it's expected to roll out across Britain, where it'll add one more delivery option for those who -- for their own strange and inexplicable reasons -- are rarely at home between 9am and 5pm.
