Abstract
A method and system are provided in which information about a barcode on a package is received or more generally, information placed on a package by a delivery service (such as a barcode or other code) is detected. Characteristics of the information or code are extracted. The characteristics of the information or code are compared to characteristics of information or code associated with acceptable delivery services. If the characteristics of the code or information on the package correspond to characteristics of the information or code used by an acceptable delivery service, a locked area is unlocked to allow the package to be delivered. In other embodiments, other types of markings may be placed on the package by the delivery service, and the storage system may check whether those markings have, or information has, the characteristics of an acceptable delivery service.
