Abstract: A computer system for routing parcels to attended delivery/pickup locations (e.g., other than an individual's home and/or office) based on estimating the attended delivery/pickup location's capacity is disclosed. The computer system receives capacity information associated with the attended delivery/pickup location and characteristics of one or more parcels an individual wishes to be delivered to the attended deliver location. The system, based at least in part on the received information, determines whether the attended delivery/pickup location will have the capacity to store the one or more parcels associated with the individual. The system then routes the one or more parcels either to the attended delivery/pickup location (if there is capacity) or to an alternative delivery/pickup location (if there is not capacity).

Abstract: A computer system for suggesting attended delivery/pickup locations to individuals (e.g., other than the individual's home and/or office) is disclosed. In various embodiments, the computer system receives location information associated with the individual (e.g., the individual's home, office, etc.) and the locations of various attended delivery/pickup locations (e.g., attended retail stores that have signed up to receive deliveries for individuals). The system determines which (if any) attended delivery/pickup locations are located near the location associated with the individual (e.g., near the individual's home) and which (if any) attended delivery/pickup locations are available to accept parcels for the user. The system then suggests attended delivery/pickup locations to the individual. In various embodiments, the system is configured to enable the user to select a default attended delivery/pickup location and/or an alternative attended delivery/pickup location.
