Abstract
Third party pickup for an ordered item is made available to a customer by authenticating the identity of the customer. The identity of the customer is authenticated by retrieving information associated with the customer from a public record; posing a question to the customer based upon the retrieved information; receiving a response to the question from the customer; and evaluating the received response to determine if the response achieves a threshold score.
