Package receiving device, kit for assembling the same, and corresponding methods of manufacturing, assembling and operating associated thereto

A package receiving device for receiving a package, the package receiving device comprising:

• a mounting panel for securely mounting the package receiving device onto a given fixed structure;
• a bottom panel being operatively connectable to the mounting panel and being moveable with respect to said mounting panel;
• and
• at least one side panel being operatively connectable to the bottom panel and being moveable with respect to said bottom panel;
• the package receiving device and the panels thereof being operable between at least one first configuration where the mounting, bottom and side panels are collapsed onto one another into a reduced space, with the at least one side panel being placeable between the bottom and mounting panels, and being containable within a spanning width defined by said bottom and mounting panels, the package receiving device and the thereof being further operable into at least one second configuration where the panels are deployed and positioned with respect to one another in order to define a containment space being shaped and sized for containing the package therein;
• wherein the at least one top panel is provided with a locking mechanism configured to interact with at least one corresponding side panel of the package receiving device when operated in the at least one second configuration, so as to selectively lock the at least one top panel in place, thereby preventing a non-authorized user of the package receiving device from accessing a package placed inside said package receiving device the packaging receiving device further having at least one of the following components and features:
• wherein the locking mechanism is configured to interact between at least the at least one top panel and at least one first side panel;
• wherein the locking mechanism is further configured to interact between the at least one top panel and at least one other side panel;
• wherein the locking mechanism is further configured to interact between the at least one top panel and both left and right lateral panels;
• wherein the locking mechanism includes a one-time latch so to be maintained in a locked configuration when activated;
• and
• wherein the one-time latch is configured to be opened with a corresponding key or combination owned by an authorized user of the package receiving device.
