Kinek Goes Mobile: Lets Online Shoppers Pick Up At Local Stores

Doing some online shopping but don't want the package shipped to your house? Maybe you won't be home, or worry about packages left on your doorstep. Or maybe the package is a gift for someone in your household? Here's a cool idea: pick up your online orders at a local store instead. That's the premise of the young startup called Kinek, which has partnered with a�number of brick-and-mortar stores across the U.S. and Canada to serve as "KinekPoints" - secure locations where you can pick up your deliveries. Now, the company is releasing its first iPhone application, allowing you to find nearby KinekPoints, check their hours, get directions, track packages and receive push notifications when the package has arrived.
