Alternatives to Amazon and Ebay collection points ?

We live off grid on a boat and have no delivery address, we use Amazon lockers and ebay click and collect , are there any other online retailers that deliver to lockers or pick up  locations?

Off hand the only other one I can think of currently is Vinted, but I suspect there are only so many recycled clothes and fashion items that a person can buy!

You might want to try working backwards. Find your accessible lockers and see who delivers to them. This is Inpost

Most couriers and Royal Mail offer drop off points for delivery, I guess it's just finding sellers who'll do it for you.

You can also rent a small locker in something like Safestore and they'll take deliveries for you (some of the storage places don't happily take deliveries, so always check). Obviously that's not overly cheap but you can get some good deals occasionally. If you're buying something big/expensive that could be a good option.

I get my parcels delivered to our local Post Office.  Amazon have a REALLY annoying habit of trying to deliver items a day 'early'.  I order items to be delivered on the 'expected' day.  Delivering them early is a PITA for both the delivery driver and myself.

Amazon do offer a nominated day for delivery if you're a Prime customer but even then they don't always get it right.

Unfortunately for you, most people are quite happy to get a day earlier than promised.
