Abstract

The delivery receptacle (100) comprises a first compartment, wherein the first compartment includes an enclosure and a first opening (105) configured to receive delivery items. The delivery receptacle also comprises a second compartment, wherein the second compartment includes a secured enclosure that is separate from the first compartment and a second opening (107) for receiving delivery items. The second compartment is accessible by a security system that limits access to the second compartment, where the access may be limited to a plurality of couriers and a delivery item recipient. The delivery receptacle also comprises a primary opening configured to provide access to the first and second compartments, where the primary opening is sized and configured to allow passage of delivery items in and out of the first and second compartments. Further is disclosed a tracking and managing method comprising receiving order information from a computing device associated with a commerce entity wherein the ordering information describes shipping information of a delivery item and information related to a purchase of a delivery receptacle, providing the delivery receptacle to a consumer entity, determining if the delivery receptacle is received by the consumer entity, and activating an account of said consumer entity, if said delivery receptacle is received by the consumer entity.
