Abstract
The secure parcel delivery receptacle comprises a parcel receptacle, a locking cover, a scanner, and a camera. The parcel receptacle may be a container into which the parcel may be placed. Access to the parcel receptacle may be via the locking cover which may only be unlocked by the scanner. The scanner may scan the parcel using wireless technology, optical technology, or a combination thereof to determine parcel identification information from the parcel. The parcel identification information may comprise or may be associated with a one-time code that will unlock the locking cover one time only. The camera may record one or more images as proof of delivery. The scanner may transmit one or more wireless messages containing status information regarding attempts to access the secure parcel delivery receptacle to the purchaser, to the seller, or to both.
