Systems and methods for item delivery to a smart item receptacle

A method of delivering items comprising:

• receiving, in one or more processors, from item processing equipment, scan information for an item intended for delivery to a delivery point;
• determining, via the one or more processors, whether the item is associated with notification preferences;
• querying via the one or more processors, an item database for item information associated with the item based on the notification preferences;
• determining that a delivery device disposed within a receptacle at the delivery point has been activated, the delivery device comprising a shell housing one or more sensors and a wireless communication device;
• determining that a first item has been deposited in the receptacle based on the activation of the delivery device;
• sending, to a network bridge component, via the wireless communication device of the delivery device, activation information based on determining the delivery device has been activated, wherein the network bridge component is located remote from the receptacle and is associated with one or more recipients and the receptacle;
• determining that a second item has been deposited within the receptacle via the pressure sensor without detecting the removal of the first item via the pressure sensor;
• determining an elapsed time between determining the first item has been deposited and determining the second item has been deposited;
• if the elapsed time exceeds a threshold time, sending, to item processing equipment an instruction to reroute an additional item to be delivered to the delivery point;
• sending, by the one or more processors in communication with and remote from the network bridge component, a notification regarding rerouting the additional item;
• in response to the elapsed time exceeding the threshold time, generating, in the one or more processors, an item hold notification;
• sending the item hold notification to the network bridge component.
