It’s a bit of a rock and a hard place for then. If you won’t leave my package and I have to be there or go somewhere else to pick it up? I’m not ordering your shit.
Big steel box with a one-way door and keyed access anchored into concrete next to your door, with a sign saying to drop packages into it. That’s what I’ve started seeing some people do. Basically, a personal mail deposit box.
I’ve seen seasonal properties with one-way mail chutes. Looks like a mailbox, but with a deep, locking mail storage container. The lock is a deterrent as well as obscuring how many weeks of mail any one home has. Of course that would only work for small packages (like phones), but it’s better than nothing!

That’s pretty much how the rest of the world works, either delivery to pickup points or delivery to person only
I for one prefer pick-up spots as there’s “always” someone there, convenient for the driver and myself.

Won’t they just put the package in front of the box?
Yes, if they are working with the thief. I’m dumb. It’s still early.

You’re saying you prefer it when the delivery man leaves your expensive gear in your porch, so thieves can pick it up?
In this case why order anything? You might as well leave cash on your porch.
