Abstract: Methods and systems for delivering a package to a customer employ an on-demand locker assembly having a plurality of lockers into which a package is placed for retrieval by the customer. A computer-implemented method for delivering a package to a customer includes receiving the package into a facility. The customer is notified that the package has arrived at the facility. In response to receiving a check-in notification from the customer, the package is placed into a locker having a closed configuration that blocks access to the package by the customer. The customer is sent an access code for use by the customer in retrieving the package from the locker. Entry of the access code by the customer is received. In response to receipt of the entry of the access code, the locker is reconfigured so that the customer can retrieve the package from the locker.

Abstract: Methods and systems for delivering a package to a customer employ an on-demand locker assembly having a plurality of lockers. A computer-implemented method of staging delivery of a package to a customer includes displaying a network link that is selectable by the customer on an electronic client device. In response to selection of the network link, the package is transferred to one of the lockers. An access code for the locker is sent to the electronic client device. Upon entry of the access code, the locker is opened to provide the customer with access to the package to retrieve the package from the locker.
