Abstract
A delivery management system includes a client user terminal, a lock/unlock device, a delivery user terminal, and a processor. The client user terminal is used by a client user who submits a request to deliver the package to a predetermined compartment of a vehicle. The processor makes an electronic payment for a fee when a request to pay for the fee associated with a package has been made from the client user terminal. The processor issues authentication information to a delivery user terminal when the processor has made the electronic payment in a case where there is specification that the client user pays for the fee at the time of delivery of the package. The delivery user terminal makes a request of a lock/unlock device to lock or unlock the predetermined compartment with the authentication information. The lock/unlock device locks or unlocks the predetermined compartment.
