The first region (2;160) has a plurality of shelves (4;38) accessible by the storage and picking device (6) and the second region (12;74,76,78,80;162,164) has a plurality of channels (24;82,84;200). Each of the channels receives a plurality of packages and comprises independent ejection means (52;208). The apparatus further comprises conveying means (30;86;168) associated with the second region (12;74,76,78,80;162,164) for removing packages (28) ejected from the second region
