Secure package delivery system and associated methods

A package delivery system comprising:

• a door access panel to accept delivery of packages via a passageway formed in a door, the door access panel being moveable between an opened position and a closed position;
• a controller to selectively move the door access panel between the opened position and the closed position;
• a delivery handling device that is moveable between an engaged position and a disengaged position, wherein the engaged position of the delivery handling device is defined as the delivery handling device being detachably engaged with the door access panel, and the disengaged position of the delivery handling device is defined as the delivery handling device being disengaged and spaced apart from the door access panel;
• a first housing carried by the delivery handling device to receive a package from the door access panel;
• a second housing comprising at least one of a temperature control unit to regulate a temperature therein and a sanitation unit to sanitize a portion therein and packages therein, to be detachably engaged to the first housing;
• and
• a transfer device to move the package from the first housing to the second housing;
• wherein the second housing is spaced apart from the door access panel and from the delivery handling device;
• and
• wherein the delivery handling device in the engaged position causes the second housing to be positioned adjacent to the first housing to receive the package.

• a second housing spaced apart from the door and separated from the delivery handling device, the second housing comprising at least one of a temperature control unit to control a temperature therein and a sanitation unit to sanitize a portion therein and packages therein;
• and
• a transfer device carried by the delivery handling device;
• wherein the transfer device engages the package to remove the package from the first housing;
• wherein the delivery handling device moves the package from the first housing to the second housing;
• and

• a door access panel to accept delivery of packages via a passageway formed within a door, the door access panel being moveable between an opened position and a closed position;
• a first housing attached to the door access panel and in communication with the passageway to house packages delivered therethrough, the first housing being moveable between an outdoor position and an indoor position, the outdoor position of the first housing being defined as at least a portion of the first housing extending into an outdoor environment and the indoor position of the first housing being defined as the first housing being positioned substantially adjacent an interior face of the door so that the door access panel is moveable from the opened position to the closed position;
• a controller to selectively move the door access panel between the opened position and the closed position, and to selectively move the first housing between the outdoor position and the indoor position;
• and
• a wireless communication interface in communication with the controller;
• wherein the controller receives a delivery signal from a package delivery drone via the wireless communication interface.
