A parcel drop box for receiving a parcel in the presence or absence of a receiver of the parcel. The parcel drop box includes a cuboidal enclosure with an open-top. A lid pivotally covers the open-top and can be lifted for gaining access into the interior of the enclosure. A pair of flaps coupled inside the enclosure to the sidewalls and just below a periphery of the open-top. The flaps can pivot between a horizontal position and a downward vertical position. The lid is coupled to the pair of flaps, such as pivoting of the lid results in pivoting of the flaps. Opening of the lid results in pivoting of the flaps to a horizontal position which restricts the access to the interior of the enclosure from the open-top i.e., the pair of flaps substantially cover the open-top when in the horizontal position.

A parcel storage assembly includes a box that has an upper door and a lower door. A first tray and a second tray is each pivotally integrated into the box. The first tray and the second tray are positioned in a deployed position for having the parcel positioned thereon when the upper door is opened. The first tray and the second tray are each positioned in a stored position when the upper door is closed in order to drop the parcel downwardly in the box. An alert unit is integrated into the box and the alert unit detects when the parcel falls into the box. The alert unit broadcasts an alert signal to the personal electronic device when the alert unit detects the parcel to alert the authorized recipient that the parcel has been deposited into the box.

An apparatus for receiving and preventing unauthorized access to deliveries has an enclosure, a moveable roof on the enclosure, a rotatable basket within the enclosure, and a connecting member coupling motion of the roof and the basket. The basket is rotatable between an upright and an upside-down position. The roof is moveable between an open position in which the basket is accessible and a closed position in which the basket access is blocked. When the roof is moved to the open position, the connecting member rotates the basket to the upright position thereby allowing a user to place the article into the basket. Moving the roof to the closed position rotates the basket to the upside-down position thereby causing the article to drop out of the basket towards the bottom of the enclosure. The enclosure may open into a chute or building for delivering the parcels to a remote location.

The present disclosure relates to an article storage and retrieval apparatus. The article storage and retrieval apparatus includes a main frame; an accommodating assembly, having an article storage state and a folded state, the accommodating assembly including a closed frame rotatably arranged on the main frame and an openable door, and the closed frame being configured to enclose an article storing space between the accommodating assembly and the main frame in the article storing state; a first locking assembly, configured to realize locking between the closed frame and the main frame and allow opening of the article storage and retrieval apparatus after unlocking; and a second locking assembly, configured to realize locking between the closed frame and the openable door and allow the accommodating assembly to switch from the folded state to the article storage state after unlocking.

An antitheft parcel delivery door system for a facility including a door with a door opening; a weather resistant exterior cover attached to a first door face, moveably positioned over the opening; parcel drum support bracket, moveable arm and rotating parcel drum with parcel drum opening, and cam assembly revolving the rotating parcel drum in the door opening, the cam assembly rotating the parcel drum simultaneously while the weather resistant exterior cover is opened and closed, enabling the rotating parcel drum to receive a parcel then counter revolve in a second direction of rotation to deposit the parcel in a facility interior space; and a protective interior cover with opening attached to a second door face enabling a parcel to drop safely into the facility interior space while preventing unwanted facility access, theft of the parcel, human harm and animal harm from contact with the rotating parcel drum and the cam assembly.

A system for facilitating parcel delivery is provided. They system comprises a delivery platform mounted to a structure and positioned at a first height. The delivery platform comprises a delivery surface. The delivery surface has an elevated surface, and in some embodiments, a stationary surface. The elevated surface is capable of raising and lowering via a lift cable. Further, the elevated surface is capable of receiving a parcel from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) configured to transport and release the parcel. Upon receipt of the parcel, the elevated surface having the parcel is lowered to a second height that is less than the first height in which the delivery platform is positioned.
