The invention relates to an article delivery receptacle ( 10 ) comprising an electronic code lock ( 11 ). When delivering articles ( 8 ), the delivery person opens the receptacle ( 10 ) by entering a delivery code ( 6 ) into the electronic code lock ( 11 ). During the ordering process, the addressee ( 1 ) conveys the required delivery code ( 6 ) to the delivery person ( 9 ) via the supplier ( 9 ) of the ordered articles ( 8 ). After the articles ( 8 ) are deposited in the receptacle, the receptacle ( 10 ) is locked once again so that the articles ( 8 ) placed therein are protected from theft. After a successful delivery, the code lock ( 11 ) is blocked so that it is no longer possible to open the delivery receptacle ( 10 ) using the delivery code ( 6 ). The addressee can remove the delivered articles ( 8 ) from the receptacle ( 10 ) by using an addressee key ( 12 ) which only the addressee possesses. After removing the articles ( 8 ), the delivery receptacle is enabled once again for receiving subsequent deliveries of articles.
