A method and system for the efficient bulk package delivery for recipients. Items
ordered by different customers from different retailers, suppliers or manufacturers
can be organized by common item identifiers and shipped in bulk from retailers
or manufacturers, to an origination regional distribution center. The items can
be sorted at the origination regional distribution center in bulk based on the
location of destination regional distribution centers that can serve destination
centralized pickup locations chosen by the customers placing the orders for those
items. Ordered items can be sorted by recipient and the destination centralized
pickup location specified in the customer's order and packed into recipient-specific
packages at the destination regional distribution center. The packages can be transported
in bulk to the destination centralized pickup locations where they can be randomly
loaded into any available locker bins in an automated system of stationary and
moveable, configurable storage locker bins. During loading, an association can
be made between an identifier of the locker bin and an identifier of the bulk delivered
package for subsequent self service identification and retrieval. An electronic
notification of the delivery can be automatically dispatched to the recipient by
the automated system of storage locker bins to alert the recipient of the delivery.
