Abstract
A request is received for a brokered shipment from a particular entity to an anonymous user. A shipping identifier is obtained from a shipping entity, on behalf of the particular entity, for the shipment from the particular entity to the anonymous user. The shipping identifier is communicated to the particular entity and the shipping identifier is associated with a unique user identifier unique, within a system, to a pairing of the anonymous user with the particular entity. Address information of the anonymous user is unknown to the particular entity, and address information is obtained from the shipping entity for the anonymous user. In some aspects, address information of the particular user is received from a second entity and applied to the shipment identifier in connection with delivery of the shipment to the particular user.
