Wouldn't the solution just be to require signatures for deliveries, or pickup if the customer isn't home? That seems to be the go-to approach for high value packages, so I don't see why the carrier can't just pick up containers when dropping off product, or even just wait a minute while the customer empties the box.
The problem seems solvable and would tremendously help Amazon's image as a green company.

People who work 9-5 M-F aren't interested in doing extra work to get their shampoo delivered via signature and/or pickup at some place 15-20 miles away in an industrial area.
- dredmorbius 7y agoIt's not the delivery, it's the unboxing. For a pick-up / package-hold service, the unboxing could be supervised. Delivery drivers aren't going to want to wait for recipients to remove packaging. And in many cases, the signer won't be the same person as the unboxer.
