I'm pretty sure they would knock first.Wife orders something on Amazon.
Doesn't tell me about it.
Chilling on the couch when some asshoe randomly opens my locked front door.
3 weeks filling out the police reports and dealing with all that mess.
Strawman. It isn't foolproof and there probably will be misuse cases but it's quite probable that they'll be incredibly rare for the reasons I've already outlined. And regardless, the "omg they're gonna case your house" is just a retarded argument. UPS only has to open the door a foot to slide a 12" package into my house. They won't see shit. Whereas if I'm home and answer the door I pretty much open it all the way and they could see all the priceless family heirlooms I have arranged in the foyer. If they've got employees that stand in the wide open doorway for 5 minutes peering around like they're trying to evaluate a locker on storage wars I'm pretty sure those people are gonna get fired pretty rapidly.
Do people really need this? No time to go shopping and put food in your own fridge, but somehow have plenty of time to binge Netflix for 30 hours. ?
I'm beginning to think you are the one with cognition problems because you still continue to over look what I write every single time and complete ignore the fact that we aren't just talking about 1 scenario. Even though I have told you about 4 time already its not just about the 1 delivery person its about the potential for abuse across the board.So you're saying that UPS and Fedex employ people without knowing their name or address?
I'm starting to think you have serious cogitation problems.
Yes, there are other criminals that are not the delivery guy. There could be a rapist hiding in the bushes outside your house right now. But that's not what we're talking about, are we?
I guess the video camera makes it a lot easier on the conscious but still... I've NEVER had a package stolen in all my years. Then again I've never really lived in high traffic areas. So wouldn't really be a concern for me.
I'm pretty sure they would knock first.
I'm actually in the UK, not the StatesYou mean Amazon lockers? They're pretty good, but do have limitations.Oh, I didn't know what exists in America. Well alright then. We have something like this in my town but there are only three of them, and you are unable to ship stuff if they're full because someone is slacking with picking his things up.
Given that everything is recorded, and some people already have camera systems that cover more areas than the Amazon cam does, it could work for SOME people. Obviously, it's not without an element of risk. This is something you have to opt-in on, and I don't see a problem with that.
15. If the deliver person is a vampire, you're technically inviting them inside
My dogs would have a huge problem with an uninvited guest making their way through my front door when I am not home.
There is nothing uninvited about it. You would have a huge problem in court if your dogs did anything.My dogs would have a huge problem with an uninvited guest making their way through my front door when I am not home.
The mental gymnastics some of you go through is amazing...
The guy has a set amount of minutes the door is unlocked, hes 100% on camera and knows it, and every single thing about him is on file at his job.
The guy will knock, announce who he is, crack open your door and set the package down and leave. Thats it.
Dont ever go outside, there is a chance a meteor could hit you.You can say that all you want, but you're not changing my (or any other security-minded individual's) mind here. There is always a chance that what you describe doesn't happen, or that some negative byproduct action occurs later. Sorry, but no. They can keep this service. You're free to use it though, so go right ahead.

Well, I split my time between two coasts. I live in Alaska and I live in Maryland. If I have something shipped to my house in Maryland, than it's nice to know that I can have it placed into the house. Especially if it's a big item/heavy item. As, it's tricky to get FedEx, UPS, or USPS to help you carry in an item. This service allows it to happen. I don't really look at it as a pure "come into my home" as I do an assured assistance delivery. If I order gym equipment, it's hard to ask someone to put that in the house.
I also don't fear my neighbor, though I understand the apprehension. Still, I'm consenting this to happen and that's not the same as a "complete stranger" coming into my home. And, given my area, getting a cam setup for my parameter isn't a bad idea and something I was already looking into.
