Abstract
This invention relates to a method and system for accessing and tracking access of a Universal Delivery and Collection Box Unit (UDCBU). A device for providing access to a UDCBU receives an electronic key from a remote device. In response to the electronic key, the device unlocks a door to the UDCBU and enabling a user to deliver or retrieve selected items. Upon enabling a user to access the UDCBU, the device further provides tracking information identifying who accessed the UDCBU, the time when the UDCBU was accessed, and the transaction that transpired when the UDCBU was accessed. This tracking information is recorded and made available to authorized users for analysis.
