Abstract: Method and apparatus for controlling delivery of an item. An electronic order specifying the item is received. An item profile for the first item is retrieved. A first instance of positional data for the user and a pattern of delivery preferences of the user are determined. Embodiments determine a first location for delivering the package to the user, based on the item profile, the first instance of positional data for the user and the pattern of delivery preferences of the first user. Shipment of the first item towards the first location is initiated, and based on subsequent network communications with an electronic device associated with the user, a second instance of positional data is determined. Delivery of the first item is facilitated to one of the first location corresponding to the first instance of positional data and a second location corresponding to the instance of positional data.

Abstract: A system may enable a customer to identify and order one or more items available at a first merchant located at a first geographic location for pick-up at or delivery from the first location. The system may also enable the customer to select a second merchant at a second geographic location and submit the order for the one or more items to the second merchant. The system may provide the customer with a preview of the availability of the ordered items, for example, the items unavailable, at the second location, and in some instances, suggested alternatives. As a result, the customer may be able to determine whether the ordered items are available at the second location and make an informed decision about whether to switch the order from the first location to the second location. The first and second merchants may be commonly owned or owned by different entities.

Abstract: Evaluation rooms (or fitting rooms) at a clothing store include replenishment closets that are accessible to customers and associates of the clothing store, albeit not at the same time. Doors of evaluation rooms include access control systems with interlocks that govern operation of the respective doors. Before an associate opens a first door between an exterior of an evaluation room and a closet to place an item therein, a second door between an interior of the evaluation room and the closet is locked. After the associate places the item in the closet, the first door is closed and locked, and the second door is unlocked, enabling the customer to open the second door and retrieve the item. Feedback indicating that items are being staged in a closet, or that items are staged therein and the closet is accessible to a customer, is provided to the customer within the evaluation room.
