Device for storing packages, and method for storing packages

A device for storing packages, in particular parcels, for arrangement on a conveyor line, comprising:

• at least one receiving means arranged at least partially between at least two fastening elements, wherein the receiving means having at least one receiving surface for arranging the packages on the receiving surface,
• at least a first detection means for measuring inflow data indicative of an inflow of packages to the receiving means, and
• at least one control means for controlling a change of the at least one receiving surface,
• wherein the at least one control means changes the at least one receiving surface of the at least one receiving means depending on the inflow data measured by the at least one first detection means, and
• wherein:
• the receiving means and at least one of the at least two fastening elements are designed to be at least partially foldable in order to reduce the required footprint of the device and for transportation of the device.
