A self-service apparatus for the delivery of sheet-like articles, such as garments, comprises at least two parallel rails having notches defining a plurality of locations at each of which can be stored an article on a hanger ready to be delivered to a customer. In response to an authorized request by a customer, a carriage is driven along the rails for picking up and conveying an article from any specific location to a reception region at which the article can be received by the customer. The apparatus also includes a control device which is actuated as a selected article is picked-up by the carriage so as to rotate the article from its storage position to a position at which it is held edgewise-on as it is conveyed towards the reception region.
