A method and system for the delivery of goods is herein disclosed. Remote locker banks are used to distribute parcels of previously requested goods to a field operative. The field operative requests via a computer one or more goods from a distribution center, which packages the goods into a parcel and transports the parcel to a locker in a locker bank at a location nearest to the field operative. The distribution center and remote locker banks are connected via a central server computer that facilitates communications and operations among them. The distribution center also communicates locker information to a field operative's remote unit, such that the field operative can open the specified locker when he or she goes to retrieve the parcel. The remote locker banks may be placed near retail stores or service stations, where spillover parcels may be stored when the locker bank is full.
