Abstract: Package-receiving-lockers (PRLs) may have a collapsible-locker portion and door-attachment-structure. PRLs may exist in a substantially collapsed configuration for storing the given PRL or for otherwise minimizing a footprint of the given PRL; and these PRLs may exist in a substantially deployed (expanded) configuration for acting as a secure object storage location. Regardless of configuration (deployed or collapsed), PRLs may be removably attached to side-hinged-doors with the door-attachment-structure, in such a way so as not to impair operation of the given door. The PRLs may have various electronics for facilitating access (e.g., locking and unlocking the collapsible-locker), delivery confirmation, and mitigating theft. These electronics, along with specialized software, may allow an intended recipient (e.g., a buyer), a shipper/delivery person (or shipping/deliver robot), and/or a seller/vendor to access the PRL in a controlled and documented manner.

Abstract: An online concierge system accesses an order history database, which describes historical orders for a plurality of users. Each historical order comprises a list of items selected by a user from a plurality of items. The online concierge system determines user streaks, each user streak based on a number of consecutive orders placed by a user that include a particular item. The online concierge system calculates an overall streak distribution based on the user streaks. For each item of at least a subset of the plurality of items, the online concierge system calculates a streak statistic based on a corresponding subset of user streaks and the overall streak distribution. The online concierge system selects a set of staples items for a user based on the streak statistics for the set of staple items and generates a display for the user with a selectable list of the set of staple items.
