12. A system to deliver packages to specified user locations, comprising:

a storage device associated with a delivery device; and

a processor communicatively coupled to the delivery device storage device, wherein the processor executes application code instructions that are stored in the storage device to cause the system to:

receive, from a package delivery computing system, delivery information associated with a package and a particular delivery location at a delivery address;

secure the package for transporting to the delivery location;

transport the package to the delivery address;

locate a printed machine-readable code at the particular delivery location at the delivery address, the printed machine-readable code comprising information associated with the package;

verify that the located printed machine-readable code comprises at least a portion of the delivery information associated with the package; and

deposit the package at the particular delivery location in response to verifying that the located printed machine-readable code comprises the at least a portion of the delivery information associated with the package.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the delivery information associated with the delivery location further comprises a GPS location of the delivery location.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the delivery information associated with the delivery location further comprises an address of the delivery location.

15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the printed machine-readable code is a QR code or a barcode.

16. The system of claim 12 , wherein the delivery device is an aerial drone.

17. The system of claim 12 , wherein verifying that the printed machine-readable code comprises at least a portion of the delivery information associated with the package comprises:

transmitting the printed machine-readable code to the package delivery computing system; and

receiving a verification from the package delivery computing system that the printed machine-readable code is associated with the package.

18. The system of claim 12 , further comprising:

a package delivery computing system comprising a package delivery system storage device and a processor communicatively coupled to the package delivery system storage device, wherein the processor executes application code instructions that are stored in the storage device to cause the system to:

receive a request for a package delivery, the request comprising an identification of the package and an identification of the delivery location;

associate the package with the delivery device;

associate the delivery information with the delivery location, wherein the delivery information comprises the machine-readable code to be printed for display in the particular location for the package to be deposited at the delivery location; and

transmit the delivery information associated with the delivery location to the delivery device for the delivery device to deliver the package to the particular location displaying the printed machine-readable code at the delivery location.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein verifying that the printed machine-readable code comprises at least a portion of the delivery information associated with the package comprises:

transmitting the printed machine-readable code to the package delivery computing system; and

receiving a verification from the package delivery computing system that the printed machine-readable code is associated with the package.

20. The system of claim 18 , further comprising application code instructions executed by the processor of the package delivery computing system to transmit the machine-readable code to a user associated with the delivery location.

21. The system of claim 20 , wherein the machine-readable code is transmitted to a user computing device associated with the user.

22. The system of claim 18 , further comprising application code instructions executed by the processor of the package delivery computing system to receive a confirmation from the delivery device that the package has been deposited at the delivery location.

23. The computer program product of claim 22 , wherein the passive machine-readable code is transmitted to a user computing device associated with the user.

24. The system of claim 12 , wherein the delivery information associated with the delivery location further comprises instructions for the delivery device to locate the printed machine-readable code at the delivery location and to deposit the package at the particular location displaying the printed machine-readable code.

25. A computer program product, comprising:

a non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable program instructions embodied thereon that when executed by a computer cause the computer to deliver packages to specified user locations, the computer-readable program instructions comprising:

computer-readable program instructions to receive a request for a package delivery, the request comprising an identification of a package and an identification of a delivery location;

computer-readable program instructions to associate the package with a delivery device;

computer-readable program instructions to associate delivery information with the delivery location, wherein the delivery information comprises a machine-readable code to be printed for display in a particular location for the package to be deposited at the delivery location; and
