A method, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium for delivering supplemental physical and/or electronic content in association with a physical delivery item. Various embodiments include operations for receiving tracking data regarding a delivery item, determining, based on the tracking data, whether supplemental content is associated with the delivery item, and automatically scheduling delivery of the supplemental content when supplemental content is associated with the delivery item. Others embodiments include operations for obtaining tracking data regarding a delivery item; identifying, based on the tracking data, supplemental content associated with the delivery item; generating an electronic command to schedule delivery of the supplemental content at a delivery point of a user, the scheduled delivery being associated with a corresponding delivery date; and generating an electronic command to present, within a user interface, at least one of the electronic items of supplemental content to the user on the corresponding delivery date.

Systems and methods for creating and using a hybrid-digital mailbox

A method, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium. A request is received to display a calendar identifying incoming physical item deliveries regarding a user's delivery point. User-associated shipment information is accessed identifying at least one first item scheduled for physical delivery and at least one second item scheduled for electronic delivery, and includes a record of physical delivery items and electronic delivery items. A sender's address is automatically populated to a recipient's address book, when a notification is received regarding the physical delivery item being in transit. Tracking data associated with the at least one first item from an integrated mail database and an integrated mail processing equipment is acquired and includes at least an expected delivery date. A notification regarding the at least one first item is displayed within a portion of an interface representative of the expected delivery date on the calendar.

A method, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium are provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided for receiving a request to display a calendar associated with a delivery point of a user, accessing shipment information associated with the user, the shipment information including a record of physical delivery items and electronic delivery items, and displaying, for each day on the calendar, a count of the physical delivery items and electronic delivery items.
