Abstract: Various embodiments provide an address reputation system for dynamically handling shipments for a plurality of addresses based at least in part upon a reputation score calculated therefor. The system comprises one or more computer processors configured to: receive new address data associated with at least one shipment order; retrieve at least a portion of existing address data associated with an address to which delivery is requested; dynamically compare one or more portions of the new address data against the retrieved existing address data so as to identify one or more discrepancies indicative of a conflict with a reputation score for the address; in response to identifying one or more discrepancies, prevent further processing of the shipment order; and in response to not identifying one or more discrepancies, facilitate further processing of the shipment order. Associated computer program products and computer implemented methods are also provided.

Abstract: A system and method for activating temporary attended delivery/pickup locations is described. The system receives a desired area for a temporary attended delivery/pickup location (e.g., near a event). The system then receives location information associated with one or more inactive temporary attended delivery/pickup locations. The system, in various embodiments, determines that at least one inactive temporary attended delivery/pickup location is in and/or near the desired area. The system then, in a particular embodiment, notifies a user that the inactive temporary attended delivery/pickup location is in and/or near the desired area. In various embodiments, the system receives a request to activate the temporary attended delivery/pickup location and, at least partially in response to receiving the request, activates the at least one inactive temporary attended delivery/pickup location.

Abstract: A system and method for allowing a purchaser of a gift to associate a personal message (e.g., an audio and/or video message) with the gift is described. The personal message may be associated with the gift via a unique identifier associated with a parcel (e.g., a parcel tracking number) in which the gift is shipped to the intended recipient of the gift. Once the gift is received by the gift recipient, the gift recipient may also associate a message with the gift via the unique identifier. The gift recipient's message may be in response to the purchaser's message, an unrelated message to the purchaser, a message to the retailer where the gift was purchased, or a message to a common carrier.
