Location-based pick up and delivery services

A system comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions;
• and
• processing hardware communicatively coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable medium, wherein the processing hardware is configured to execute the instructions and thereby perform operations comprising:
• receiving shipping data on an item that is to be shipped by an individual;
• responsive to receiving the shipping data:
• identifying first location coordinates of a known location of an entity that can ship the item;
• receiving location information for the individual from a computing entity associated with the individual, the location information comprising a current physical location of the individual;
• determining, based at least in part on the first location coordinates of the known location of the entity and second location coordinates of the current physical location of the individual, a distance between the entity and the individual;
• determining, based at least in part on the distance, that the individual is located within a proximity of the entity;
• responsive to determining that the individual is located within the proximity of the entity, having a notification transmitted to the computing entity for display via a user interface notifying the individual of the entity from which the item can be shipped.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by processing hardware, configure the processing hardware to perform operations comprising:

• receiving location information for an item, the location information comprising a first current physical location of the item;
• determining, based at least in part on first location coordinates of the first current physical location of the item and second location coordinates of a known location of an entity, a distance between the item and the entity, wherein the known location is other than a delivery address for the item;
• determining, based at least in part on the distance, that the item is located within a first proximity of the entity;
• receiving, from a computing entity associated with a user, a second current physical location of an individual;
• determining, based at least in part on third location coordinates of the second current physical location of the individual, that the individual is located within a second proximity of the entity;
• and
• responsive to determining that the individual is located within the second proximity of the entity, transmitting a notification via a network to the computing entity for display via a user interface, wherein the notification comprises a mechanism via the user interface for the individual to remotely request a delivery of the item at the entity.
