German term or phrase: Abstellvereinbarung
Abstellvereinbarung and abstellen. I'm not sure if it's about goods storage, goods deposit etc...and there may be the notion of temporary. In a glossary here in proz I found Abstellen = temporary storage. But I'm not sure how to translate Abstellvereinbarung (perhaps temporary storage agreement).

Here is as much context as possible below. The text that these sentences have been taken from deals with "delivery agreements" in general and explains the different ones.

The description for Abstellvereinbarung is as follows:

Hierbei handelt es sich um eine Absprache, Sendungen in Abwesenheit des Empfängers abzustellen, bzw. bereitgestellte Sendungen abzuholen. Hier ist es ganz besonders wichtig, dass der Mitarbeiter den Empfänger deutlich darauf aufmerksam macht, dass der vorgegebene Abstellort bestimmte Voraussetzungen erfüllen muss. Er muss zum einen vor dem Zugriff unberechtigter Personen geschützt sein und zum anderen den Sendungen ausreichend Schutz vor Nässe und anderen witterungsbedingten Einflüssen bieten.

More about the agreements:
Eine Anliefervereinbarung, kurz ALV, ist eine schriftliche Vereinbarung zwischen dem Empfänger, der ausliefernden Distributions GmbH und dem Frachtführer dessen Tour den Empfänger beliefert, die es ermöglicht:
• Eine Terminvereinbarung zu treffen („Anlieferung“)
• Packstücke ohne Beisein einer empfangsberechtigten Person abzustellen oder abzuholen („Abstellvereinbarung“)
• Packstücke an eine abweichende Zweitadresse im Ausliefergebiet der betroffenen Tour anzuliefern („vereinbarte Zweitadresse“)

Explanation:
(as put so eloquently by yourself ;-) )

It sounds like this covers delivery instructions such as 'please leave in garage if out' and I would say that your suggestion fits perfectly.

Explanation:
This service is offered by several carriers, often by carriers dispatching during the night or weekend, when the consignee is not present.

A german carrier describes it as: The goods are delivered to the consignee and deposited in a lockable location. Whether this is a technician's vehicle, a container, garage or storage facility, delivery is made in accordance with the customer's individual requirements.

Temporary storage agreement would not fully fit the bill, I think. The carrier can't just drop the shipment, often carriers have keys to certain locations, sometimes even the trunk of a car is used (if that has been agreed).

Not sure whether 'deposit agreement' could be used (could sound too much like money deposit)
