The installation for temporary storage and ready for dispatch delivery of objects comprises a closed-in-itself rail system with holding elements (30) movable on it independently of one another, at least one packing and take-over station (10), at least one addressing and delivery station (11) and at least one computing unit (12). Between the packing and take-over station (10) and the addressing and delivery station (11), the rail system is designed as a storage area (2), for example, with controllable switch points or switch point systems (5) on the input and on the outlet side (5) and with functionally parallel storage tracks (2.1, 2.2, ...) between the switch points or switch point systems (5). Prior to being stored, the objects (32) supplied to the installation are individualized, individually packed and taken over by one holding element (30) each. Packed objects (33) and holding elements (30) are transported to the storage area (2) together, are stored along the storage tracks (2.1, 2.2, ...) and when required are retrieved from storage. Thereupon the packed objects (33) are marked according to their destination (e.g., addressed) and are released from the holding elements (30). In comparison with consignment systems in accordance with prior art, the packaging of individual objects prior to storage enables a more simple automation of the packaging step, and the advantageously suspended storage together with the holding elements (30) makes a more simple retrieval from storage possible.
