Abstract
A system and method for shipping an item is presented that reduces the number of steps involved in the physical process and protects shipper and recipient privacy. The shipper is not required to label a package with the shipper's name or address, the recipient's name or address, or proof of payment. Instead the shipper scans a barcode on the package that encodes a package identifier, and causes a recipient identifier and payment information to be associated with the package identifier in a database. The recipient then causes his or her address to be associated with the recipient identifier.
