I agree, though for high-dollar items you're usually required to be present to sign for an item. That, and your car may find itself parked in areas much seedie

  Perhaps don't order items to be delivered to your boot if your car is parked somewhere seedy? I imagine that this is more for people who park in a corporate, gated car park 5 days a week and want to get Amazon deliveries without taking a day off. My work used to take in small parcels when I worked in an office; the car-park was secure, gated with CCTV and I'd have had no problem using such a system which would require me to be on call to receive the delivery. Personally I think lock-boxes in secure locations are probably better but there's perhaps more problems with personal security then - someone waits at the location and mugs you when you're picking up the parcel (that's not going to be so easy in an office car park).

  It's more like "perceived high-dollar items." When I lived in the city, UPS made me drive out to their depot in the suburbs to pick up a cheap white box PC because they wouldn't leave it with no one to sign for it. However, they had no problem leaving my $900 Karastan rug propped up against the front door where it could get rained on/stolen, etc...

    It sometimes seems pretty random. Going to the UPS or FedEx depot is a bit of a pain for me and every now and then I'll have to go and sign for something that in no way merits having to sign given that probably 99% of the stuff I get from Amazon just gets dropped in either my mailbox or by my front door. I think the last time I had to go to FedEx it was to pickup a broken P&S camera being returned to me as unrepairable.
