The fluctuating nature of package shipments makes it difficult for structures to anticipate residents’ package locker requirements. Possible causes include the lack of locker capacity in high-rise buildings and the impracticality of contemporary courier services in high-rise buildings due to door-to-door delivery, which wastes time and money-making multiple efforts at delivery. In Malaysia, package management is currently full of outdated practices and inconveniences. The goal of this design idea is to facilitate and upgrade courier services in high-rise buildings. The objective of this research is to develop Pneumatic Mailbox System design ideas, to assembly the simulation from improvised design of the Pneumatic Mailbox System, to demonstrate the performance of Pneumatic Mailbox System and to demonstrate entrepreneurial skill in proposing Pneumatic Mailbox System simulation which can be marketable. The data collection for this research was qualitative research which consisted of a document review, literature review, design thinking method, and 3D simulation. The Pneumatic Mailbox System comprises seven (7) components and materials. The Pneumatic Mailbox System exhibits the capability to be implemented on both pre-existing and newly constructed buildings owing to its minimal maintenance demands during installation. Several recommendations for the future endeavours of fellow researchers are to enhance the capabilities of the Pneumatic Mailbox System, to develop a functional prototype of Pneumatic Mailbox System and others.
