(57) In order to have valuable object or the like delivered to clients, the client can
order a valuable object from a supplier via a communication link, and said supplier
makes the ordered valuable object available to the client. An ordered valuable object
is provided with an object identification that can be machine-read, which identification
is linked to a client identification, wherein the object identification and the client
identification are registered in a data file. Ordered valuable objects are placed
in at least one device for delivering valuable objects, wherein the data file is stored
in a memory of a control unit of the device. The device includes a control panel for
the client as well as client identification means. An ordered valuable object can
be dispensed by the device, once a client has been identified, under the control of
a user interface programme. A device that is suitable for carrying out this method
comprises a safe for storing said valuable objects, a control panel for the client,
a delivering system for delivering valuable objects to the client, which system comprises
a delivering opening outside the safe, which is accessible to the client, a control
unit and a display for communication with the client. The safe includes a number of
compartments for containers in which valuable objects are packed, wherein the control
unit is arranged for detecting the presence of containers in the compartments. The
containers are provided, at least in part, with an object identification, wherein
the control unit comprises a memory, in which a data file containing object identifications
and client identifications linked therewith can be stored. The control unit is arranged
for signalling to a client upon identification of said client that a container that
is intended for said client is present in the device. The control unit is furthermore
arranged for delivering said container by means of the delivering system upon operation
of the control panel.
