This project presents to overcome a primary issue in delivery such as the failure of a secure drop-off when the recipient is not present. This typically leads to the packages being left in insecure locations to chance theft or damage or returned to the hub, causing inconvenience to both the recipient and delivery personnel. The main objective of this project is to devise a secure and convenient parcel mailbox prototype with a receipt-generating machine for proof of delivery and attach a notification indicator such as indicator lamp and LCD display to notify the owner. It includes a security features to open this mailbox securely with a secret code to prevent tampering. With it, a functional prototype was effectively built. It is able to print a delivery receipt for delivery staff after the package has been deposited into the parcel box, display the status on an LCD display during detection of the package in the parcel box, and safeguard its contents through the security code system. The contribution of the project is a concrete solution that improves the security and efficiency of the delivery process in the last mile, reduces the risk of package loss, and makes the process more efficient for all parties involved.
