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.
