A method of reducing the burden, of carrying packages during a shopping trip to a mall type shopping center with retail stores, includes interconnecting valet kiosks with a computer network. Shoppers can conveniently drop packages at the nearest kiosk and be free to continue shopping. Shoppers receive a wallet sized card with claim information encoded magnetically or otherwise. The card is swiped at each kiosk where another package is dropped off. All information is routed to a central computer server. Shoppers need only let an attendant at a kiosk know that they are leaving for the day to have their packages moved to their valet-parked vehicle. If the vehicle is self-parked, the packages are moved to a drive-up locker which is opened by swiping the card.
