Delegate item delivery

Abstract:

In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to enable delivery to a delegate of a user. A calendar function of the user can be utilized to determine whether a delivery can be successfully completed. In several embodiments, a system as described herein can access wireless smart devices of the user and one or more delegates thereof to schedule a delivery of one or more products. The system analyzes locations and times of scheduled events to determine whether the user has a conflict for a delivery time and, if so, whether any of the delegates are authorized and available to receive the delivery. The system can send out notifications and/or invites based on priorities determined by the user.
