First, before moving to the flowchart in Figure 2, write the delivery address and the
Fill in the address or phone number of the delivery destination, etc., and paste it in the designated position on the bag.

Thereafter, the set switch 31 of the operation section 30 is turned on.

Then, by turning on the set switch 31, the number of the vacant bag boss 20 among the bag posts 20 is displayed on the post display section 32.

In addition, at the same time as the number of the empty mailbox is displayed on the post display section 32, the lock switch 22 of the door 21 of the mailbox displayed on the post display section 32 is turned OFF, and the door 21 of the post corresponding to that number is freely opened.
