Smart cap system

Generally described, the invention provides for an indicia that is associated with a pick up notice left at a pick up location. This indicia is 'linked' to the parcel(s) that were intended for pick up at the location, which may be done by a handheld portable data acquisition device that includes a scanning or reading means, allowing information to be acquired from the pick up notice as well as from the parcels, and stored on the handheld portable data acquisition device. Parcel's that do not comply with a carrier's business rules are left at the business location, along with the pick up notice. The indicia is then used to access information about the parcels that were left behind and arrange for re-pick up or alternate pick up instructions, including canceling pick up. The indicia may also be used to track parcels that were picked up as well as to make alternate delivery arrangements for the picked up parcels.

Pick up notice and method of using same

This can be done by a handheld portable data acquisition device that includes a scanning or reading means, allowing information to be acquired from the delivery notice as well as from the parcels, and stored on the handheld portable data acquisition device. If ten parcels were undeliverable, only one delivery notice is left behind but is 'linked' to all ten packages. The intended recipient can then contact the delivery service via the Internet (or other suitable network) or by phone, by using information provided on the delivery notice. By providing the delivery service with unique information from the delivery notice, the intended recipient can get valuable information regarding the undelivered parcels.
