Regarding having drivers respect preferences... Shippers end up eating the cost of these packages, and they are making an economic tradeoff: Slower deliveries by following preferences vs. eating the cost of loss. They are choosing the latter. Maybe they haven't done the analysis right, or maybe the overall costs really are lower that way.

I find in an apartment complex with lock boxes to prevent package theft, some shippers (FedEx and Amazon) almost never use them, presumably because the drivers are under a time crunch. It may be easy for FedEx and Amazon to just have insurance cover it. But it's easiest for me to just stop ordering anything from them.
