SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING SENDING OF ITEMS

摘要

Methods and systems for managing the sending of items between users of an online service are disclosed. A request to transfer an item and location identifiers of a first and/or second user are received at a server. Instructions for transferring the item to a dispatcher are transmitted from the server. A code is received at the server from the dispatcher to notify the service that the item has been received and the server transmits location data to the dispatcher to enable the dispatcher to transfer the item to the second user. Alternatively, a code can be provided to the first user who will provide the code to a second user or the first user provides an email address of the second user and the server sends an email to the second user. The first and second users each provide location identifiers to enable a transfer service to transfer the item.
