Claim 20:
21. A method for facilitating in-garage delivery, the method comprising:
receiving, at a communication circuitry, image data representative of an interior of a garage captured by an imaging device, wherein the image data is associated with an image captured by the imaging device in response to a garage door operator system of the garage causing movement of a garage door of the garage between open and closed positions;
executing, by a processor operably coupled to a memory and the communication circuitry, computer-readable instructions stored in the memory to:
control the communication circuitry to send a signal to effect capture of the image data by the imaging device in response to the movement of the garage door;
process the image data to determine a characteristic of the interior of the garage;
select a packaging for an item to be delivered to the garage based at least in part on the characteristic of the interior of the garage; and
effect delivery to the garage of the item with the selected packaging including causing the garage door operator system to move the garage door to an open position;

effectuating, by the processor via the communication circuitry, a user device prompting a user to capture at least one image of the interior using a camera of the user device upon a determination that the imaging device is unable to provide the image data representative of the interior of the garage;
receiving, by the processor via the communication circuitry, the at least one image captured by the user device; and
processing, by the processor, the at least one image captured by the user device to determine the characteristic of the interior of the garage.
