Various embodiments now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout.
Overview
In particular embodiments, a system for delivering packages to alternate delivery locations is configured to facilitate the delivery of parcels to alternate delivery locations (e.g., via a common carrier, logistics company, etc.). In particular embodiments, an alternate delivery location may include a location other than the address of the parcel's intended recipient. In various embodiments, these alternate delivery locations include retail stores (e.g., including gas stations, grocery stores, and pharmacies), stand-alone kiosks, or any other suitable locations for receiving and holding parcels for pick up by recipients. For example, a parcel originally scheduled for delivery to a primary delivery location (e.g., such as the recipient's residence) may be redirected to an alternate delivery location. In particular embodiments, the redirection of the parcel to an alternate delivery location occurs at least partially in response to a determination that delivery of the parcel to the primary delivery location is not possible (e.g., because the recipient is not home when an attempt is made to deliver the parcel, the parcel requires a signature, the person delivering the parcel determines that it would be unsafe to leave the parcel outside of the primary delivery location, and/or for any other suitable reason). In other embodiments, the redirection of the parcel to an alternate delivery location occurs at least partially in response to a request from the parcel recipient to redirect the parcel. As a particular example, when the recipient is notified via a service such as the My Choice service offered by UPS of Atlanta, Ga. that the recipient has a parcel scheduled for delivery, the recipient may elect to have the parcel delivered to an alternate delivery location instead of the scheduled delivery address.
In other embodiments, the system is configured to facilitate the delivery of parcels directly to alternate delivery locations from a business or other entity from which the shipment of the parcel originated. Direct to alternate delivery location deliveries may include business-to-retail deliveries in which items ordered by a customer from a business (e.g., such as an e-commerce web site) are shipped directly to a retail location or other suitable alternate delivery location. For such deliveries, the items may be held at the alternate delivery location until picked up by the customer (e.g., the intended recipient). In such embodiments, the system may be configured to present customers with a selection of alternate delivery locations for items that the customer orders.
In various embodiments, the system is configured to confirm whether an alternate delivery location has capacity to accept a parcel before directing (e.g., or redirecting) a parcel to the alternate delivery location. This may include, for example, ensuring that there is enough physical space at the alternate delivery location to accept the parcel or suitable systems in place at the alternate delivery location to accommodate any special handling instructions that the parcel may have (e.g., a requirement to store the parcel at a particular temperature). In such embodiments, the system may be further configured to substantially automatically (e.g., automatically) reserve space at the alternate delivery location for the parcel to ensure that the alternate delivery location will not lose capacity to accept the parcel before the parcel arrives.
In particular embodiments, shipping items directly to alternate delivery locations provides a cost savings to common carriers and other shipping and/or logistics companies by avoiding the need to deliver parcels and other items to the home addresses of individual parcel recipients. Rather, the common carriers can deliver parcels to several alternate delivery locations that service a particular area where parcel recipients can go to collect their parcels.

Example System Architecture
One or more computer networks 115 may include any of a variety of types of wired or wireless computer networks such as the Internet, a private intranet, a public switch telephone network (PSTN), or any other type of network. The communication link between Logistics Server 100 and Database 140 may be, for example, implemented via a Local Area Network (LAN) or via the Internet.
In particular embodiments, the computer 120 may be connected (e.g., networked) to other computers in a LAN, an intranet, an extranet, and/or the Internet. As noted above, the computer 120 may operate in the capacity of a server or a client computer in a client-server network environment, or as a peer computer in a peer-to-peer (or distributed) network environment. The Computer 120 may be a personal computer (PC), a tablet PC, a set-top box (STB), a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a cellular telephone, a web appliance, a server, a network router, a switch or bridge, or any other computer capable of executing a set of instructions (sequential or otherwise) that specify actions to be taken by that computer. Further, while only a single computer is illustrated, the term “computer” shall also be taken to include any collection of computers that individually or jointly execute a set (or multiple sets) of instructions to perform any one or more of the methodologies discussed herein.
An exemplary computer 120 includes a processing device 202, a main memory 204 (e.g., read-only memory (ROM), flash memory, dynamic random access memory (DRAM) such as synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) or Rambus DRAM (RDRAM), etc.), a static memory 206 (e.g., flash memory, static random access memory (SRAM), etc.), and a data storage device 218, which communicate with each other via a bus 232.
The processing device 202 represents one or more general-purpose processing devices such as a microprocessor, a central processing unit, or the like. More particularly, the processing device 202 may be a complex instruction set computing (CISC) microprocessor, reduced instruction set computing (RISC) microprocessor, very long instruction word (VLIW) microprocessor, or processor implementing other instruction sets, or processors implementing a combination of instruction sets. The processing device 202 may also be one or more special-purpose processing devices such as an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a digital signal processor (DSP), network processor, or the like. The processing device 202 may be configured to execute processing logic 226 for performing various operations and steps discussed herein.
The computer 120 may further include a network interface device 208. The computer 120 also may include a video display unit 210 (e.g., a liquid crystal display (LCD) or a cathode ray tube (CRT)), an alphanumeric input device 212 (e.g., a keyboard), a cursor control device 214 (e.g., a mouse), and a signal generation device 216 (e.g., a speaker).
The data storage device 218 may include a non-transitory computer-accessible storage medium 230 (also known as a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium or a non-transitory computer-readable medium) on which is stored one or more sets of instructions (e.g., software 222) embodying any one or more of the methodologies or functions described herein. The software 222 may also reside, completely or at least partially, within main memory 204 and/or within processing device 202 during execution thereof by computer 120—main memory 204 and processing device 202 also constituting computer-accessible storage media. The software 222 may further be transmitted or received over a network 220 via network interface device 208.
While the computer-accessible storage medium 230 is shown in an exemplary embodiment to be a single medium, the term “computer-accessible storage medium” should be understood to include a single medium or multiple media (e.g., a centralized or distributed database, and/or associated caches and servers) that store the one or more sets of instructions. The term “computer-accessible storage medium” should also be understood to include any medium that is capable of storing, encoding or carrying a set of instructions for execution by the computer and that cause the computer to perform any one or more of the methodologies of the present invention. The term “computer-accessible storage medium” should accordingly be understood to include, but not be limited to, solid-state memories, optical and magnetic media, etc.
Exemplary System Platform
Various embodiments of a system for delivering parcels to alternate delivery locations may be implemented within the context of any suitable service. For example, particular embodiments may be implemented within the context of any service offered by UPS of Atlanta, Ga. Various aspects of the system's functionality may be executed by certain system modules, including a Parcel Redirection Module 300. This module is discussed in greater detail below.
Parcel Redirection Module
When executing the Parcel Redirection Module 300, the system begins, at Step 310, by receiving an indication that delivery of one or more parcels is not possible at a primary delivery location. In various embodiments, the system receives the indication that the one or more parcels are undeliverable from a delivery driver who was unable to perform the delivery. In particular embodiments, the system is configured to receive the indication in any suitable manner (e.g., via input on a wireless device such as a smart phone or DIAD). A delivery of a parcel may not be possible, for example, because the parcel recipient is not home to receive the parcel, because no one is present at the primary delivery location to sign for the parcel if the parcel requires signature confirmation, or for any other suitable reason.
The system continues, at Step 320, by retrieving alternate delivery location information for the one or more parcels. In various embodiments, alternate delivery location information includes the following: (1) alternate delivery location availability information; (2) parcel recipient alternate delivery location preferences; and (3) parcel shipper alternate delivery location preferences. Each of these is described below.
Alternate Delivery Location Availability Information
In particular embodiments, the alternate delivery location information retrieved by the system includes the locations of one or more alternate delivery locations as well as information relating to the ability of those one or more alternate delivery locations to receive parcels. In various embodiments, the system is configured to retrieve location information for one or more alternate delivery locations that are within a particular distance of the primary delivery location to which delivery of the one or more parcels was not possible. In particular embodiments, the particular distance from the primary delivery location for which the system retrieves alternate delivery location information depends at least in part on the primary delivery location (e.g., whether the primary delivery location is in an urban or rural setting, is a business or residential address, etc.).
As a particular example, when a primary delivery location is in an urban or more densely populated area, the system may be configured to retrieve information for one or more alternate delivery locations that are no more than a short distance from the primary delivery location (e.g., within walking distance of the primary delivery location, within 1 mile of the primary delivery location, within a particular number of stops on a public transportation system from the primary delivery location, etc.). In a different example, when a primary delivery location is in a rural area, the system may be configured to retrieve information for one or more alternate delivery locations that are farther from the primary delivery location (e.g., up to ten miles from the primary delivery location, within a fifteen minute drive of the primary delivery location, etc.). In various embodiments, the system may be configured to retrieve information associated with one or more alternate delivery locations that are within a particular travel time of the primary delivery location (e.g., via car, on foot, via public transportation, etc.).
In various embodiments, the system is configured to determine alternate delivery location information based at least in part on a location of a delivery driver, which may, for example, be determined based on a location of a mobile device (e.g., such as a smart phone or DIAD), or other GPS device, associated with the delivery driver (e.g., based on GPS co-ordinates of the mobile device, etc.). In such embodiments, the system may be configured to locate one or more alternate delivery locations that are no more than a particular distance from the delivery driver as discussed above. In other embodiments, the system may be configured to locate one or more alternate delivery locations that are no more than a particular distance from a delivery route of the delivery driver (e.g., one or more alternate delivery locations to which the delivery driver could deliver the one or more parcels without substantially deviating from their delivery route).
In particular embodiments, the one or more alternate delivery locations may include, for example, one or more retail stores (e.g., including gas stations, grocery stores, and pharmacies), stand-alone kiosks, or any other suitable location for receiving and holding parcels for pick up by recipients. In various embodiments, the one or more alternate delivery locations may have limited capacity for receiving and holding parcels (e.g., redirected parcels) until the parcels are picked up by the intended recipients. For example, an alternate delivery location that is part of a grocery store may have limited physical storage space (e.g., shelf space) for storing parcels. Other alternate delivery locations may be unable to store particular parcels that require special handling (e.g., refrigeration or other temperature storing requirements). In various embodiments, the alternate delivery location information includes information relating to the ability of a particular alternate delivery location to receive and store a parcel. In particular embodiments, the system may substantially continuously (e.g., continuously) update capacity information for a particular alternate delivery location. In other embodiments, the system may update capacity information for a particular alternate delivery location other than substantially continuously (e.g., once per day, two times per day, hourly, etc.).
Parcel Recipient Alternate Delivery Location Preferences
In particular embodiments, the system is configured to retrieve alternate delivery location information that includes one or more parcel recipient preferences related to one or more alternate delivery locations. These one or more parcel recipient preferences may be provided to the system by parcel recipients, for example, and may include preferences related to particular alternate delivery locations to which recipients would like their parcels redirected following unsuccessful deliveries. In particular embodiments, the system is configured to allow parcel recipients to provide a list of preferred alternate delivery locations that are ranked from most preferred to least preferred. In various embodiments, the system is configured to redirect parcels to the parcel recipient's most preferred alternate delivery location that is able to accept the parcel. A parcel recipient may, for example, provide a most preferred alternate delivery location that is situated between the recipient's home and place of work, so that the recipient can pick up the parcel from the alternate delivery location on the way home from work. In various embodiments, a parcel recipient's most preferred alternate delivery location may be unavailable to accept delivery of a particular parcel. In such cases, the system may be configured to redirect the parcel to the parcel recipient's second most preferred alternate delivery location (and so on).
In various embodiments, the system is configured to allow a parcel recipient to provide preferred alternate delivery locations for any parcel that the recipient may receive (e.g., for all parcels scheduled for shipment to the parcel recipient, regardless of the source of the parcel). In other embodiments, the system is configured to allow a parcel recipient to select or provide one or more preferred alternate delivery locations for specific parcels (e.g., in response to the parcel recipient receiving a notification that the parcel recipient is currently scheduled to receive a particular parcel). In particular embodiments, following an unsuccessful delivery attempt, the system may be configured to notify the parcel recipient that the carrier was unable to deliver the parcel to the primary delivery location and is further configured to provide the parcel recipient with a selection of alternate delivery locations to which the parcel can be directed. In various embodiments, the system is configured to only provide selected alternate delivery locations from which the parcel recipient may choose that have substantially current (e.g., current) availability to accept the parcel.
In various embodiments, following an unsuccessful delivery attempt, the system may be configured to provide the parcel recipient with a selection of available alternate delivery locations and a time period during which the parcel recipient may select an alternate delivery location from the selection of alternate delivery locations. In response to receiving the selection from the parcel recipient, the system may be configured to redirect the parcel to the selected alternate delivery location. If the system does not receive a selection from the parcel recipient during the time period, the system may be configured to substantially automatically determine a suitable alternate delivery location and redirect the parcel to that location.
Parcel Shipper Alternate Delivery Location Preferences
In various embodiments, the system is configured to allow a shipper to select whether parcels that the shipper sends to recipients can be redirected to alternate delivery locations following unsuccessful delivery attempts. For example, when sending a parcel, the shipper may indicate that the parcel should not be rerouted to an alternate delivery location in the event of an unsuccessful delivery attempt. In particular embodiments, shippers may opt out of allowing parcels that the shipper sends to be rerouted to alternate delivery locations for any suitable reason (e.g., because of the nature of the item being shipped, etc.).
Returning to
In particular embodiments, the system is configured to determine an appropriate alternate delivery location based at least in part on a size and/or weight of the parcel. For example, parcels of a particular size may be too large to leave at the primary delivery location when no one is available to accept the delivery of the parcel (e.g., because the size of the parcel may render the parcel more susceptible to theft if left outside of the primary delivery location). As a different example, parcels that are particularly large in size and/or weight may be unsuitable for redirection to an alternate delivery location due to the difficulty that a parcel recipient may face in transporting a parcel picked up at an alternate delivery location to the parcel recipient's residence. For example, parcels of a certain size or weight may be difficult for a parcel recipient to fit in the parcel recipient's vehicle or may be too heavy for the parcel recipient to carry. For such parcels, the system may be configured to direct a common carrier delivery driver to release the parcel at the primary delivery address (e.g., by leaving the parcel at the primary delivery address) rather than redirecting the parcel to an alternate delivery location.

Alternate Embodiments
Direct to Alternate Delivery Location Shipments
In various embodiments, businesses provide customers with the option of having items scheduled for shipment to those customers (e.g., purchased by those customers) shipped directly to alternate delivery locations, rather than having the items shipped to the customer's home or office. In such embodiments, the businesses may provide a selection of alternate delivery locations to which the customer may send shipments. In other embodiments, the alternate delivery locations may be supplied by the common carrier that coordinates the shipment of the item. For example, a common carrier such as UPS may have particular alternate delivery locations associated with the common carrier in a particular city (e.g., such as Atlanta, Ga.). A customer ordering an item for shipment to that particular city may, when ordering the item, be presented with a listing of the particular alternate delivery locations associated with the common carrier. In particular embodiments, the system is configured to substantially automatically (e.g., automatically) reserve space at an alternate delivery location for an item ordered by a customer at least partially in response to the customer selecting that alternate delivery location as the shipping destination of the item the customer is to receive.
Packaging for Business-to-Retail Parcels
In particular embodiments, an alternate delivery location that accepts parcels shipped directly to the alternate delivery location may also receive parcels intended for the alternate delivery location itself. For example, a grocery store that acts as an alternate delivery location may receive parcels that are shipped to and intended for the grocery store in addition to parcels that are shipped to the grocery store but intended for storage at the alternate delivery location associated with the grocery store until the parcel can be picked up by a parcel recipient. In such instances, parcels that are direct to alternate delivery location parcels intended for a person other than the alternate delivery location itself may contain an indicia indicating that the parcel is to be picked up by the parcel recipient rather than opened by someone at the alternate delivery location. In such embodiments, the indicia can allow alternate delivery locations to differentiate between parcels intended for the alternate delivery location from parcels that have been shipped to or redirected to the alternate delivery location but are to be picked up by a different parcel recipient.
In various embodiments, the indicia may include a particular marking on parcels intended for pick up by parcel recipients (e.g., a particular color marking, sticker, label, etc.). In particular embodiments, the indicia are machine-readable indicia that are readable to update tracking information associated with the parcel (e.g., updating information to notify the parcel recipient that the parcel is ‘ready for pick up’).
Non-Guaranteed Deliveries
In particular embodiments, the system is configured to provide customers with a non-guaranteed shipping option (e.g., a shipping option that does not guarantee shipment within a particular number of days). The system may be configured to make periodic shipments from any particular business to a particular alternate delivery location. For example, a common carrier may provide a non-guaranteed shipping option for items shipped from a particular online electronics retailer to a particular alternate delivery location, and the common carrier may then only make shipments from the particular online electronics retailer to the particular alternate delivery location once per week (e.g., or once every other week, etc.). In various embodiments, a common carrier may charge less for a non-guaranteed shipping option than for other shipping options (e.g., such as two day shipping, overnight, etc.).
In other embodiments, the system is configured to release shipments placed with non-guaranteed shipping options from a particular retailer to a particular alternate delivery location only when a particular number of orders have been placed from that particular retailer for shipment to that particular alternate delivery location. For example, the system may be configured to only send a shipment of items or parcels from that particular retailer to that particular alternate delivery location once a sufficient number of orders have been placed with non-guaranteed shipping from that particular retailer to that particular alternate delivery location to substantially fill (e.g., completely fill) an entire delivery truck.
In still other embodiments, the system may be configured to hold any parcels scheduled for delivery to a particular parcel recipient until a predetermined number of parcels have been scheduled for shipment to the particular parcel recipient. For example, a logistic company's regional distribution center may contain a bin for the particular parcel recipient in which all parcels for that particular recipient are placed. The parcels would then be delivered once the bin had filled up in order to decrease the number of trips needed to deliver all of the parcels to the particular parcel recipient (e.g., to the recipients residence or an alternate delivery location selected by the recipient).
Illustrative Examples
In various embodiments, a system for directing parcels to alternate delivery locations will determine the most suitable alternate delivery location to which the parcel should be delivered. In the example shown in
