Amazon is positioning the Canadian launch as a way to offer shoppers convenience and help protect packages from weather damage and theft.

The company says the service is particularly useful for people receiving costly or fragile goods.

While Amazon will waive fees for customers who choose their delivery date in advance, others will be charged $1.99 per garage drop-off.
