Abstract: A securable delivery container device for securing an article during delivery from a sender to a recipient includes a box, which has a top that is open for insertion of an article. A lid hingedly engaged to the box is positioned to selectively close the top. A locking unit, which is engaged to one of the box and the lid, is selectively engageable to the other of the box and the lid when the lid is positioned in a closed configuration. The lid thus is locked to the box. The locking unit requires an instruction to unlock the lid from the box. The instruction is electronically communicable between a sender and an intended recipient of the article. The locking unit secures the article within an interior space defined by the box until delivered to the intended recipient and execution of the instruction.
