A building includes an exterior wall provided with a door which can be opened to expose a plurality of compartments for receiving a wide range of deliverable products. The compartments are defined as sections of one or more appliances. Preferably, the exterior door can be used to expose both fresh food and freezer compartments of a refrigerator, as well as one or more compartments of an oven unit. Each of the compartments is also accessible from an interior of the building through an associated inner door. The inner and outer doors can be electronically latched and are linked together such that at least the exterior door is prevented from being opened whenever a specified interior door is open.
