Yeah, I don’t hold this against them at all. My USPS delivery driver asked me the other day if he could just leave packages requiring a signature on my porch going forward and I told him that was fine.
I have cameras, I work from home, we don’t have porch pirates in this area (or at least in it’s never happened in the last 5 years I’ve been here).
On the other hand, I don’t trust FedEx/UPS at all. I had a Steam Deck stolen in-transit (an empty box was delivered to my porch) and then I had another Steam Deck stolen from a pickup box (I assume stolen by a driver, not from the box directly). The first one I was able to prove and get a free replacement. The second one was something I couldn’t prove and I ate the loss (~$600 IIRC, I keep trying to forget it). I’ll never trust a dropbox again with anything expensive. Arguably I should have been smarter but up till that point I’d returned 10+ $1000+ iPhones the same way without issue.
