A structure preferably over 3m high that can securely receive packages delivered by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. The structure will detect the drone when it is hovering above the module by way of audio detection means or by way of a signal sent by the UAV. Upon detecting the UAV, doors in the top of the structure will open, allowing the UAV to deposit the package within the structure. The doors will then close and the package will be lowered internally by way of a lift to the base of the structure where it can be kept securely until retrieved. The structure may have solar panels. The package receiving area may be surrounded by netting to minimise the risk an imprecise delivery.
