I live in a house with 2 large dogs, so the drivers won’t deliver to my porch anyway. So, many years back, I purchased a large parcel box. 99.9% of what I buy will fit in the box. When the lid is closed, it’s also protected from the weather. Amazon considers it a “safe location”. I don’t care what time I decide to go pick up my lunch, the delivery will happen in the time I’m away. My packages are also out of sight to the general public so less likely to be pilfered. This system has worked well for around 20 years!!!
Even when I’m at home, I don’t watch for them. I watch my email for the “your package has been delivered” that comes within 5 min of the delivery before going out to retrieve my packages. I’m also lucky that my town has a Prime delivery office in this area. Once their vehicle is within 10 stops from my house, I receive a notification with an interactive map to where I can watch where the vehicle is located. IF it’s an important package, I sometimes go sit in my front yard & watch them pull up to my driveway so they can hand it off directly to me. Most days they leave it in the box though.
