ABSTRACT:
Improved methods and systems are provided to facilitate delivery services between a sending party and a receiving party while permitting a physical location of the receiving party to remain transparent to the sending party. For example, a system as disclosed herein can permit the receiving party to take delivery of mail, packages, or other articles through the use of a virtual address defined by the receiving party without requiring the receiving party to disclose its physical address to the sending party. In another example, articles may be routed to a temporary physical address of the receiving party through the use of a temporary forwarding path also defined by the receiving party.
