  • Publication number: 20040181570
    Abstract: Customers corresponding to a consignor sending a package and a consignee receiving the package install home delivery boxes at their homes, respectively. Information can be transmitted and received through a network between customer terminals and a terminal of a home delivery carrier delivering the package. When the consignor puts the package into the home delivery box at his/her home and then transmits information to the terminal of the home delivery carrier, the terminal of the home delivery carrier issues a memory card based on the information transmitted from the consignor. The home delivery carrier carrying the memory card can open a box door of the home delivery box to pick up the package from the home delivery box. On the other hand, the home delivery carrier transports the package to the home delivery box of the consignee.
