Systems and methods of flexibly activating temporary attended delivery/pickup locations

A computer system comprising:

• at least one processor, wherein the computer system is configured for:
• (A) receiving desired area information, wherein the desired area information comprises a particular area associated with a particular event where at least one attended delivery/pickup location is desired;
• (B) receiving information associated with a particular inactive attended delivery/pickup location, wherein the information associated with the particular inactive attended delivery/pickup location comprises a geographic location associated with the particular inactive attended delivery/pickup location;
• (C) determining that the particular inactive attended delivery/pickup location is located near the particular area based at least in part on the geographic location associated with the particular inactive attended delivery/pickup location;
• (D) transmitting at least one notification to at least one client device, wherein the at least one notification comprises:
• i) an indication that the particular inactive attended delivery/pickup location is located near the desired area;
• and
• ii) an indication that the particular inactive attended delivery/pickup location is inactive;
• (E) at least partially in response to transmitting the at least one notification to the client device, receiving a request to activate the particular inactive attended delivery/pickup location, wherein:
• i) the request to activate the particular inactive attended delivery/pickup location comprises a request to activate the particular inactive attended delivery/pickup location at a particular start time;
• and
• ii) the particular start time is associated with the start of the particular event;
• and
• (F) at least partially in response to receiving the request to activate the at least one attended delivery/pickup location, facilitating activation of the particular inactive attended delivery/pickup location at about the particular start time.

A computer-implemented method for the temporary activation of an attended delivery/pickup location comprising:

• (A) receiving, by at least one computer processor, a request to open a temporary attended delivery/pickup location, the request comprising:
• i) a location for the temporary attended delivery/pickup location;
• ii) a start time to open the attended delivery/pickup location;
• iii) a shut-down time for shutting down the attended delivery/pick up location;
• (B) at least partially in response to receiving the request to open the temporary attended delivery/pickup location, facilitating, by at least one computer processor, opening the temporary attended delivery/pickup location at about the start time;
• (C) facilitating a delivery of at least one parcel to the temporary attended delivery/pickup location;
• and
• (D) facilitating a shut-down of the temporary attended delivery/pickup location at about the shut-down time.

A computer-implemented method for the temporary activation of an attended delivery/pickup location comprising:

• (A) receiving, by at least one processor, a request to open a temporary attended delivery/pickup location, the request comprising:
• i) a location for the temporary attended delivery/pickup location;
• ii) event information associated with an event occurring near the location for the temporary attended delivery/pickup location, the event information comprising:
• 1) a start time for the event;
• and
• 2) an end time for the event;
• (B) at least partially in response to receiving the request to open the temporary attended delivery/pickup location, facilitating, by at least one processor, facilitating opening the temporary attended delivery/pickup location at about the start time for the event;
• (C) facilitating, by at least one processor, the delivery of at least one parcel to the temporary attended delivery/pickup location;
• and
• (D) facilitating, by at least one processor, a shut-down of the attended delivery/pickup location at about the end time for the event.
