"Little bit of planning" is not easy for me, or for anyone who values the immediacy of Prime.
The obvious solution is to have lockers at homes, i.e., a secured box on your property that only delivery people to whom you've given a code can open. You can even introduce this concurrently with smart locks, so people who feel comfortable with it can just give the delivery guy a one-time code that opens the front door.
I know this has been experimented with, and I'm sure their are challenges, bit I've never been able to understand how it hasn't been worth solving.

I've seen apartments where each unit has a small mail box, and there are (say) a dozen larger lockers off to the side. When USPS needs to deliver a package, they put it in one of the lockers, and then put the key to that locker in the recipient's mail box. I suppose the system assumes that none of your neighbors clone those keys, but it seems at least a step in the right direction.
