An access device associated with and configured to control access to one or more compartments on a lockbox, in which the lockbox is associated with a user, comprising:

• an input mechanism adapted to receive user input;
• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more hardware-based memory devices comprising instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the access device to:
• instantiate a lockbox application that communicates with a remote service, wherein the lockbox application receives access codes to authenticate users;
• exercise control over access to a compartment on the lockbox using short-range communication protocols, in which access includes locking and unlocking the compartment, wherein the lockbox is fastened to an external structure including a base or wall to prevent movement of the lockbox;
• lock the compartment;
• responsive to the user placing an order at an e-commerce service and the e-commerce service transmitting order information to the remote service, receive an access code for the compartment from the remote service, in which the access code enables unlocking of the compartment when input at the input mechanism of the access device, the access code being a one-time use at the access device, wherein the compartment is associated with multiple different access codes within a given time frame that cause the access device to unlock the compartment, in which each one of the multiple different access codes is assigned to specific users or user devices to identify who accessed the compartment;
• receive physical user input at the input mechanism, wherein the access device:
• unlocks the compartment responsive to the received physical user input corresponding to the received access code;
• and
• maintains the lock of the compartment responsive to the received physical user input failing to correspond to the received access code.
