I can see this working well for UPS and USPS (and probably Amazon delivery as well) packages, but I'm curious how this will work with Ontrac, who deliver to me more than half the time and seem to have wanton disregard for delivery instructions.
@eddie Hi Ed, uCella will work with onTrac the same way as UPS, USPS and FedEx. It may take couple deliveries to get them adapt to it but it won’t be an issue base on our field test. And we are in contact with these major carriers so we can partner together and deliver the best experience to our joint customers. Thanks!
I saw this a few days ago and I frickin love it. It's a problem I face regularly (living in BK) and have been hoping for a solution this elegant. Kudos
Shame this is only initially US, but good luck 🌟 This would be perfect for my apartment as I live in a small village in England where everyone knows everyone including our delivery peeps!

With an increase of package thefts in the Bay Area, I've been thinking that something like this was needed. Nice work.
@joelokama Thanks for the comment! It is a bit more complicated to create a version for apartments because of wall space, fire codes and public entrance access permissions. But we are doing research in this area and we may come up with an uCella mini version for folks living in the apartments in the future.
@momento_js Looks like a great product. For apartments might be good with a shared version. For instance a 3-5 setup would cover the need for 10-20 apartments depending on how much deliveries they have.
Besides this I have a question. What happends if your uCella is allready used by one delivery? Can it still be opened by an other carrier or do I need to empty it before? Maybe something a carrier could get info on to delay the delivery until the uCella is empty again?
@mikaellowgren@joelokama as long as the other carrier has an package with an expected tracking number, the driver will be able to unlock uCella and make the drop off.
