Probably 90% of my packages are delivered while I'm at work. My neighbors work as well (as the least those I know--the handful of houses on either side of me).

I prefer to have a few packages a year go missing (which Amazon will always replace) than always end up having to pick things up from the post office.
My normal USPS delivery person is kind enough to deliver packages to my back door which helps. AMZL/UPS/FedEx aren't so accommodating though.
- bad_good_guy 9y agoYou could try getting your packages delivered to work?
- acranox 9y agoI'm sure that's been thought of. People who walk, take transit, or bike to work probably don't want the hassle of lugging a package home if it's anything larger than would fit in your backpack. Having stuff delivered to your home is a convenience. Hauling stuff home from work subtracts from that convenience. If I walk around my neighborhood in the late afternoon I see little Amazon packages on everyone's porches. No one seems to be stealing them. I can see people who will want this Amazon Key thing, but I can see a lot of people for whom this addresses a non-existent problem.
- s0rce 9y agoI did this when I was in grad school and could just grab them from the mail room and the staff were friendly and knew most students couldn't easily get stuff delivered to their apartments. At my current small bay area company they get fussy when tons of personal packages are coming in. Luckily, I live in a good area and packages don't get stolen off my porch, also they are hard to see.
