A secure box for receiving packages is described. The secure box includes a rectangular container with a top, a bottom, a front, a left, a right, and a back. A front door forms part of the front when in a closed position, the front door having at least one hinge allowing it to move to an open position by swinging outward at a top end. A top cap with one or more photovoltaic panels formed therein, the top cap adapted to securely fasten onto the top. A package sensor senses a package placed in the rectangular container to initiate a decontamination process. A controller is electrically coupled to one or more photovoltaic panels, and the controller is communicatively coupled to the package sensor to control a decontamination system for decontaminating the package which has been sensed. The decontamination system includes at least one of ultraviolet light source, a chemical spray, or both.

The present invention teaches a residential wall penetrating mailbox with enhanced box handling capability, openable by barcode scanning, and openable from either inside or outside a home. A body which is generally column shaped has a front door which open at the top and hinge near the bottom and which has transfer means extending from the bottom and interior end of the front door into the interior space of the mailbox, said transfer means transferring and moving boxes away from the mailbox into the interior of the home. Thus, a delivery person may access a box from outside the home, while the homeowner may do the same without leaving the safety of the home interior while allowing for multiple boxes to move in the safety of the interior or the home.

The package holder incorporates a front cover having several rungs assembled in a cascading, accordion style that when the front cover is in its expanded position to cover the interior cavity of the package holder, the several rungs are fully expanded and when the front cover is in its collapsed position, the several rungs fit together. The package holder includes a frame structure having one or more back surfaces and a bottom surface. The back surface is mountable using fasteners to a physical surface of a property. The package holder incorporates electronic and computer based locking mechanisms as well as non-electronic locking mechanisms. The package holder incorporates tracking sensing systems to track a package from a third-party delivery service that can automatically access the interior cavity of the package holder. A user can access the package from an interior of a property through an opening of the package holder.

The present invention discloses a system, device, and method for receiving on-site dropped packages delivered to a structure. The system preferably comprises an off-the-shelf object-receiving unit easily installable in an opening in a building, such as a standard window opening. In embodiments, the unit includes a hingeably movable section that automatically opens when a parcel intended for it is near and closes itself after delivery. The parcel may then be retrieved via a door or window on the inside of the unit by a person in the room in which the unit is installed.
