Abstract

E-commerce is an internet retailer that is open 24 hours a day. In this day of largely going online, many people have access to the internet both at work and at home. As a consequence, people discover that shopping online is really convenient. Their online purchase will subsequently be delivered to their house or preferred address. The problem that is causing the project's implementation may be observed from the perspective of courier services and clients. In order to provide the greatest services and ensure that the client's package is delivered securely, the courier will contact the customer when it is time to deliver the parcel. However, if they wish to deliver the item but there is no receiver there, they will have to return the parcel back to their hub for parcel dumping, or the courier man would leave the parcel outside the house at the recipient's request. On the customer's side, they will confront the issue of the item going missing after being delivered due to theft, or the parcel being damaged due to severe weather. The availability of this house post box might help to alleviate the problem. The goal of this study is to learn about user preferences for the design and features of a residential post box. Aside from that, its objective is to create a Smart Home Post Box depending on the questionnaire supplied. Another goal is to create a post box for use on most residential property. A set of questions is created to collect data and user preferences for the design solution. According to the results of a Google form poll, the majority of respondents agreed that installing a post box in each property will reduce the problems that couriers and buyers experience. In terms of design, the questionnaire offers a few contemporary market designs that have been offered in the questionnaire. The largest proportion of all designs based on each component will be developed into morphological charts, sketches, 3D drawings, and structural analysis before manufacture. Design 4 was chosen to be developed because it meets more safety requirements than the other designs. Aside from that, the mechanism for the receiving door and slot takes up less space and is less complicated than in Designs 2 and 3. The actuator was chosen compared to spring because it had a superior criterion in concept alternatives when evaluated using Pugh's Matrix.
