my friend has something like that, but many delivery people still leave packages on the door mat

I live in a gated community. USPS will not deliver Amazon packages to my house.

I have to go to the Post Ofiice to pick them up. Which is always a PITA.

Solution? Amazon Lockers. They are everywhere. Most are accessible 24/7.

So if anyone has a problem with porch pirates - have your stuff sent to a locker.

Now everyone will know to check for fake planters.

So glad I moved to a rural area.

Potted plants can provide cover.

Do not have any problem since we live in the country, it is a quarter mile to our house and we have a dog. But when we lived in the city we had a locked metal box welded to the porch rails that, when you placed a package in top, dumped it into the area below.

You could get the packaged if you wanted, but you were going to have to work for it.

I just leave them impaled on poles in the front yard.

The driver is going to ignore the box and throw them on the porch for the purposes of the all-important (within AMZN) of the photograph.

How is doofus AMZN driver supposed to take the pic of him shoving the package through the slot (which is amazingly thin -- if he orders anything more than razors it is going on the porch). Agree with all previous posts that AMZN dropboxes are solid secure.

I think a good sized wooden box is about the right idea and put a spring loaded flip door at the top and ramp in it so that the boxes can slide down without being all bashed up. Then put one way spikes on the ramp all pointed the same way... the packages can slide down but if an idiot actually climbed in to steal a package, they’d never be able to get back out. Or better yet, have it slide down a ramp into a locked basement area... assuming the house has a basement.

Or just have a door with a coded lock... the delivery person has to call when arriving and you can give the code over the phone and even watch as the package is placed inside and then the door locked up. Then change the code for the next delivery. Would delivery people do that in the interest of

This doesn’t help when they are following the trucks which they are!!!
