In the context of the rapid development of digital technologies, new requests from consumers are also being formed, related to saving time on the search and delivery of the necessary goods. This development is reinforced by the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, which requires, first of all, maintaining social distance and minimizing social contacts. It is these factors that have allowed the active development and implementation of contactless methods of delivery of goods into our lives. Currently, people tend to avoid social contacts not only in public transport, at work, but also in stores. According to the European E-Commerce Report 2021, the growth rate of B &C e-commerce in Russia was 41 %. According to UNCTAD, Russia ranked 41st in terms of the development of Internet commerce. There is a significant increase in the number of parcel terminals in Russia, existing companies are expanding their presence in the regions. More innovative methods of contactless delivery, such as delivery robots and drones, are also being actively developed. In the near future, these contactless delivery technologies will have a wider application and a wider reach of consumers in various sectors of the economy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
