It seems like drop-boxes, like the ones used to return library books, could be built into the rooms in new apartment buildings. That would probably solve the delivery problem except when shipping really big packages (e.g. televisions).
- philwelch 17y agoApartment buildings already have simpler options: an in-complex office that receives all deliveries on your behalf and checks them out to you. The problem is, you've changed the problem to "redoing how the country builds apartments, and rebuilding all the apartment buildings" when the original problem, "find a way to deliver packages at more convenient times", was an easier problem to begin with.
- rsheridan6 17y agoLots of mailboxes, and not just at apartment buildings, already have dropboxes: http://www.mailboxworks.com/AF_Outdoor_Parcel_Locker.html http://www.mailboxworks.com/AF_Outdoor_Parcel_Locker.html You don't really need one for every room because not everybody is going to get a delivery every day. One for every 10 rooms would be enough most of the time.
