generating and/or selecting access authorisation information at least in part on the basis of the obtained delivery and/or pickup position information and/or the obtained delivery and/or pickup period information,

communicating the generated and/or selected access authorisation information to the delivery agent apparatus.

14 . The method according to claim 13 , wherein the access authorisation information authorises access for the delivery into a vehicle.

15 . The method according to claim 13 , wherein the access authorisation information has a limited temporal and/or spatial validity and/or is valid for a limited number of accesses.

16 . The method according to claim 11 , additionally comprising:

providing a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a computer program that, when the computer program runs on a processor, causes the processor to perform and/or to control the steps of:

providing, by a user apparatus, an activable user interface for stipulating a delivery and/or pickup position,

capturing a position of the user apparatus when the user interface is activated, and

communicating delivery and/or pickup position information associated with the captured position from the user apparatus to a delivery service,

for obtainment at the user apparatus.

17 . A delivery service apparatus comprising:

means configured to perform the method according to claim 11 or comprising respective means for performing the steps of the method according to claim 11 .

18 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a computer program that, when the computer program runs on a processor, causes the processor to perform and/or to control the method of claim 11 .

19 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

obtaining delivery and/or pickup position information from a user apparatus at a delivery service apparatus,

associating, by the delivery service apparatus, the obtained delivery and/or pickup position information with a delivery agent apparatus,

communicating the obtained delivery and/or pickup position information from the delivery service apparatus to the delivery agent apparatus.

20 . A system comprising:

a user apparatus comprising means configured to perform the steps of:

providing, by a user apparatus, an activable user interface for stipulating a delivery and/or pickup position,

capturing a position of the user apparatus when the user interface is activated, and

communicating delivery and/or pickup position information associated with the captured position from the user apparatus to a delivery service apparatus; and

a delivery service apparatus comprising means configured to perform the steps of:

obtaining delivery and/or pickup position information from a user apparatus at a delivery service apparatus,

associating, by the delivery service apparatus, the obtained delivery and/or pickup position information with a delivery agent apparatus,

communicating the obtained delivery and/or pickup position information from the delivery service apparatus to the delivery agent apparatus.
