Personally, I think this is another great step for us, more big business including now the carrier industry thinking about getting into Cryptocurrency is huge!

Here are some clippings from the Article:

UPS is looking into a brand new system of lockers, according to an application they filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This patent filing lists bitcoin along with traditional fiat currencies as a currency with which to pay.

If a buyer or seller wants to use one of these lockers for a recent purchase or sale, they can leave the item locked in the UPS locker until the buyer picks it up with the payment method of choice.



Direct Quote from UPS:



“In example embodiments, the locker bank may include a point-of-sale (POS) system for accepting payment from users in the form of: (1) a cash transaction; (2) a credit or debit card transaction; (3) a gift certificate; (4) an electronic payment, such as payment by Google Pay, Apple Pay, PayPal, Bitcoin; and/or (5) any other suitable type of payment.”

The exciting addition to the patent is the inclusion of bitcoin as an option to refund customers found alongside typical methods such as credit.
