A carrier for a vehicle, the carrier comprising:

• a plurality of accommodating portions that are layered and that have a plurality of accommodating rows, each of the accommodating rows accommodating a plurality of parcels in parallel, the plurality of parcels each being provided with a piece of delivery destination information;
• a conveying passage that conveys the parcel accommodated in any one of the accommodating portions in respective layers to a lower layer;
• a sensor that reads the pieces of delivery destination information provided to the plurality of parcels;
• a moving device that rearranges the parcels accommodated in each of the accommodating rows, and moves the parcels to the conveying passage in rearranged order;
• a hand-over portion that hands over the parcel to a predetermined location, the parcel having been moved to the conveying passage and conveyed to a bottom layer;
• and
• an information processing device that controls the moving device such that the parcels accommodated in the accommodating rows are rearranged based on a predetermined delivery route and the pieces of delivery destination information read by the sensor, and the parcels accommodated in the accommodating portions in the respective layers are moved to the conveying passage in the rearranged order and conveyed to the hand-over portion, wherein the moving device has a first moving device that lifts up the parcel and moves the parcel along a corresponding one of the accommodating rows, a second moving device that moves a parcel being accommodated in the corresponding one of the accommodating rows along the corresponding one of the accommodating rows, and a third moving device that moves a parcel accommodated in the corresponding one of the accommodating rows by pushing the parcel in a direction along the corresponding one of the accommodating rows.

• a plurality of accommodating portions that are layered and accommodate a parcel;
• a first conveying passage that conveys the parcel accommodated in any one of the accommodating portions in respective layers to a lower layer, and conveys the parcel moved out from the lower layer to a higher layer;
• a moving device that moves the parcel accommodated in any one of the accommodating portions to the first conveying passage, and moves the parcel from the first conveying passage to one of the accommodating portions in a predetermined layer;
• a second conveying passage that conveys the parcel having been conveyed to a bottom layer to a predetermined location, and conveys the parcel moved out from the predetermined location to the first conveying passage;
• a third conveying passage that conveys the parcel carried in from outside to the predetermined location, the third conveying passage being set so as to be retractable to the predetermined location;
• and
• an information processing device that controls the first conveying passage, the second conveying passage, the third conveying passage, and the moving device such that the parcel carried in from the outside is conveyed to the predetermined location by the third conveying passage, the parcel moved out from the predetermined location is conveyed to the first conveying passage via the second conveying passage, the parcel is moved from the first conveying passage to the one of the accommodating portions in the predetermined layer, the parcel accommodated in any one of the accommodating portions is moved to the first conveying passage, with the third conveying passage retracted from the predetermined location, the parcel having been moved to the first conveying passage is conveyed to the second conveying passage, and the parcel having been conveyed to the second conveying passage is conveyed to the predetermined location.
