DroneDek says it is set to disrupt the parcel, package and mail delivery industry by leveraging several patent claims it was awarded that combine to make it a "mailbox on steroids".

DroneDek aims to solve drone delivery by offering ultimate convenience. Shipping and receiving with DroneDek are made easy through its intuitive app. Users will receive alerts when their packages ship or arrive.
