• engage a lock-alarm system associated with the delivery point, the lock-alarm system:
• i) operating in at least an activated mode and a deactivated mode;
• ii) engaging with a delivery point communication network;
• and iii) verifying an identity of a delivery service agent;
• and
• communicate with a wireless device associated with the delivery agent, the wireless device configured to communicate with the lock-alarm system, the delivery service agent having delivery service agent authentication data;
• wherein:
• the wireless device is positioned at a wireless device distance to the lock-alarm system;
• upon establishing communication between the wireless device and the communication network of the delivery point, using the lock alarm system to verify the authenticity of the delivery service agent using the delivery service agent authentication data;
