Abstract: A shipping system for shipping packages involving the coordinated use of at least a first carrier and a second carrier. The shipping system includes physical delivery facilities for the physical delivery of packages, the physical delivery facilities including at least one transfer location at which the second carrier may take over delivery responsibilities for a package. The shipping system also includes an information system having a shipper computer system configured to record and determine whether the delivery address of a package is an efficient destination for the first carrier. If not an efficient destination, such as a delivery address having a rural zip code, the shipper computer system is configured to label the package for delivery to one of the transfer locations, allowing the first carrier to transfer the selected package to the second carrier for completion of the less efficient portion of the delivery.

Abstract: A mail delivery system for facilitating delivery of a plurality of mail pieces sorted into a plurality of containers to a postal service. The mail delivery system includes a mail piece information apparatus for determining information about each of the mail pieces, such as by scanning delivery addresses of the mail pieces. A sorting apparatus associates an identifiers of the containers with mail pieces sorted into the containers. A tracking system tracks the containers through delivery using the container identifiers. Paperless manifests describing the mail pieces in the containers and delivery of the containers to a postal service location are generated by the system by correlating tracking information on the containers with contents information for the containers using the identifier. The mail delivery system is also configured to implement quality control processes and billing using the tracking and manifest information, resulting in time savings and increased billing accuracy.

Abstract: Systems disclosed herein use environmental sensor technology (12) to enhance the tracking and transporting capabilities of a product delivery system. The systems provide the capability to track and verify the environmental condition(s) to which a product (13) is subjected during its transportation or movement through a supply chain. In particular, the systems allow a sender (16), a receiver (18), and other authorized persons to access or interrogate environmental data (85) that describes the environmental conditions to which a product (13) within a container (14) has been subjected during transport from the sender (16) to the receiver (18). The systems also permit in-transit intercept handling when it is determined that a package (13) was unexpectedly subjected to an environmental condition that by definition makes it unfit for delivery to the original receiver (18).

Abstract translation: 这里公开的系统使用环境传感器技术（12）来增强产品传送系统的跟​​踪和传送能力。 该系统提供跟踪和验证产品（13）在运输或通过供应链移动时所经受的环境条件的能力。 具体而言，所述系统允许发送者（16），接收者（18）和其他授权人员访问或询问描述容器（14）内的产品（13）具有的环境条件的环境数据（85） 在从发送者（16）到接收者（18）的传送期间受到影响。 当确定包装（13）意外地受到环境条件的影响时，该系统还允许在途拦截处理，根据定义，该环境条件不适于传送到原始接收器（18）。
