if the location of the delivery agent associated with the one of the plurality of mobile devices is confirmed, transmit, to the delivery agent associated with the one of the plurality of mobile devices, a confirmation;

if the location of the delivery agent associated with the one of the plurality of mobile devices is not confirmed, transmit, to the delivery agent associated with the one of the plurality of mobile devices, an instruction to refuse delivery.

11. A method, performed by one or more processors, for creating a crowdsourced delivery plan for a package, the method comprising:

storing, in a database, requirements for deliveries;

providing a physical retrieval location at a retailer, the retailer controlling access to the package by delivery agents;

receiving, at a certification system from the retailer electronically, an indication of items included in the package;

determining, based on the indication of items included in the package and access to the database, a set of requirements required of delivery agents by the retailer, wherein the set of requirements dictate certifications required of delivery agents to deliver the package, the set of requirements for delivery agents determined, at least in part, by including any requirements corresponding to each of the items in the package;

transmitting, via a communications network to a plurality of mobile devices electronically, information regarding the delivery, wherein the information regarding the delivery includes the physical retrieval location for the items included in the package;

receiving, via the communications network from the certification system electronically, the information regarding the delivery;

transmitting, via the communications network to the certification system electronically, an acceptance of the delivery, wherein only ones of the plurality of mobile devices associated with delivery agents having the required certifications are capable of acceptance of the delivery by referencing a blockchain, wherein the required certifications and the acceptance of the delivery are maintained as data in one or more blocks of the blockchain, wherein each of the one or more blocks contains a cryptographic hash that includes a previous timestamp;
