    Thinking when the “leaving packages before door” will stop (by shops refusing to send it that way due to cost related to stealing)

      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.

        I for one prefer pick-up spots as there’s “always” someone there, convenient for the driver and myself.

        That’s pretty much how the rest of the world works, either delivery to pickup points or delivery to person only

          Really? At least 90% of packets I get are deposited without signature.

        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.

        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.

        I think it is necessary to make a difference between delivering cheap stuff and a new iPhone or laptop.
