A delivery vehicle is configured to be able to deliver a package in front of a front door of a dwelling unit in a complex housing including a shared door with automatic lock function that is able to be opened as unlock information is input to an unlock input unit of an entrance via wireless communication. When the delivery vehicle arrives at the complex housing including the shared door with automatic lock function, and a delivery instruction for leaving the package in front of the front door is made, an on-board unit of the delivery vehicle inputs the unlock information to the unlock input unit via the wireless communication, and notifies a terminal device of a user of input date and time.

A parcel chute (1) is provided for an outer wall (13) of a building or an enclosure of a balcony which is used for the automatic delivery and collection of a parcel (2) by an unmanned aircraft, in particular a logistics drone. A method for delivering a parcel (2) using an unmanned aircraft, in particular a logistics drone, an outer wall (13) with a parcel chute (1), and an enclosure with a parcel chute (1) are also provided.

A postal and package receptacle includes a main body that has an open top and a lid over the top that is movable between an open position and a closed position. The lid is moved from the open to the closed position upon receiving an open command via a wireless communication, whereupon a package can be placed in the interior of the main body. After a package is placed in the interior of the main body, the lid can be closed. A drone can be programmed to deliver a package to the postal and package receptacle and upon arriving at the location of the postal and package receptacle, the drone can communicate with the postal and package receptacle to issue the open and close commands, accordingly.

A parcel storage assembly for remotely securing a parcel delivery includes a box that is positionable adjacent to an entry of a building to be accessible to a parcel delivery person. A lid is hingedly coupled to the box for opening and closing the box. A locking unit is coupled to the box and the locking unit engages the lid when the locking unit is turned on to inhibit the lid from is opened. The locking unit is in wireless communication with a personal electronic device to facilitate a user to remotely lock and unlock the box. A light emitter is coupled to the box to kill bacteria and sterilizing the parcel delivered by the parcel delivery person. A cooler is positionable within the box for receiving a food delivery positioned therein.

The present invention discloses a system particularly adapted for refrigerated or heated goods that can keep the goods at a desired temperature until the goods are picked up by the patrons. More precisely, there is disclosed a secured delivery box for storing and providing access to goods therefrom, comprising: a structure defining storage areas to store the goods; doors, wherein each door is controllably movable between a closed position and an open position respectively preventing and providing access to a respective one of the storage areas; locking mechanisms, wherein each locking mechanism is associated to a respective one of the doors, and wherein the locking mechanisms when in a lock state lock the respective door in a closed position preventing access to the respective one of the storage areas; and a processor connected to Internet and to the locking mechanisms, wherein the processor is adapted to signal the locking mechanisms to exit the locked state.

Various examples are provided related to package delivery receptacles. In one example, a delivery guard includes a depository contained within a front surface, a rear surface, and side surfaces of the delivery guard; a front facing package drop door pivotally attached to the front surface; a package deposit shelf attached to the front facing package drop door at a fixed orientation; a second shelf pivotally attached to the rear surface; and a linkage assembly coupled between the package deposit shelf and the second shelf. Rotation of the front facing package drop door between open and closed positions simultaneously rotates the second shelf via the linkage assembly. The package deposit shelf and the second shelf can rotate downward as the front facing package drop door is closed thereby providing a sloped opening to the depository.

A package delivery system for secured delivery of packages without the need for a person to be present to accept them in person is disclosed. The package delivery system includes a vertical structure such as a wall, a door, and a garage door; a package delivery door dispositioned within the vertical structure; and one or more user devices in communication with the package delivery door via a network.

There is disclosed a container comprising a container portion for storing one or more items. The container portion is accessible via a movable closure. The container portion also comprises an input device and a lock for selectively configuring the container portion in a locked state or an unlocked state. The container also comprises a communication module for communicating with a user device of a user. A controller is configured such that, in response to actuation of the input device when the container portion is in the locked state, the controller causes a request for access to the container portion to be sent by the communication module to the user device of a user only on condition that one or more items is determined by the controller to be present in the container portion.

A secure package delivery system comprises a lockable container configured for securement to a movable door or exterior wall of a building structure. The container includes a walled body and openable lid. A vertically and horizontally adjustable dolly handle assembly is slideably coupled to a rear of the body and operable to form an adjustable gap for receiving a portion of the door to trap and secure the container in place. The handle assembly is lockable in place to the container and in vertical position by a crank mechanism operated via a lever. The container further includes a movable securement aperture in the handle assembly and wall pin which permits securing the container to a wall via operation of handle assembly and crank mechanism. A movable latch operated by the crank mechanism secures the wall pin in the securement aperture to prevent removal of the container.

A parcel safe for remote vehicle pickup and delivery of packages including a container having an opening for receiving or deploying packages. The container has a lockable lid associated with the opening and has a closed position and an open position. The container and associated lid define a package receiving surface in the open position. Alignment apparatus is associated with the package receiving surface and provides an index for a receiving point of the package receiving surface. The alignment apparatus is designed for use by a remote vehicle in a pickup or delivery process.
