Zusammenfassung:A system, according to various embodiments, is adapted for identifying a suitable locker for a particular parcel based, at least in part on the size of the parcel. In particular embodiments, the system is optimized for identifying the smallest available locker that would accommodate the parcel, and facilitating delivery of the parcel to that locker. The size of the parcel may be obtained, for example, from a carrier, a shipper, a consignee, or a third party (such as a customs agent). Selon diverses formes de réalisation, l'invention concerne un système conçu pour identifier un casier approprié pour un colis particulier, au moins partiellement sur la base des dimensions du colis. Dans des formes de réalisation particulières, le système est optimisé en vue d'identifier le casier disponible le plus petit pouvant contenir le colis, et de faciliter la livraison du colis dans ce casier. Les dimensions du colis peuvent être obtenues, par exemple, d'un transporteur, d'un expéditeur, d'un destinataire ou d'un tiers (tel qu'un agent du service des douanes).
