    Abstract: Method and apparatus for controlling delivery of an item. An electronic order specifying the item is received. An item profile for the first item is retrieved. A first instance of positional data for the user and a pattern of delivery preferences of the user are determined. Embodiments determine a first location for delivering the package to the user, based on the item profile, the first instance of positional data for the user and the pattern of delivery preferences of the first user. Shipment of the first item towards the first location is initiated, and based on subsequent network communications with an electronic device associated with the user, a second instance of positional data is determined. Delivery of the first item is facilitated to one of the first location corresponding to the first instance of positional data and a second location corresponding to the instance of positional data.
