Abstract: Described is a method and system for providing a verified delivery of a package. First, registration information is obtained from a recipient; the registration information includes a biometric identification of the recipient. A delivery service obtains the package from a sender which is addressed to the recipient and forwards the package to the recipient. At the point of delivery, the delivery service obtains a further biometric identification from the recipient using a portable device which includes a biometric reader. The delivery service releases the package to the recipient only if the biometric identification is substantially identical to the further biometric identification.

Abstract: Described is a method and system for a business-to-consumer delivery network within a local district. A package is prepared for a delivery to a recipient. A label is placed on a package. The label includes data regarding a sender, a recipient and a package identification. The sender and recipient are located within a predetermined local geographical area. The package is provided to a messenger of a delivery service during a routine stop of the messenger. Then, the package is delivered to a local delivering center of the delivery service which services the predetermined geographical area. Subsequently, the package is registered and sorted using the label only at the delivering center. Finally, the package is delivered to the recipient by a further messenger of the delivery service during a routine stop of the further messenger.
