Now that would be cool, same with @NTran idea of being able to direct the driver to an alternate location. Never understood why your not able to give an alternate address or locker on delivery day, if you are aware your gonna be away unexpectedly.
Would you allow an Amazon delivery driver into your house...When you’re not there?

Count me out. No way would I just let them enter my home without me being there…and especially in this day and age. I’d rather just go the Amazon box route if I’m not going to be home. Besides that, I wouldn’t want to be sued by them if my 13 year old, deaf, and somewhat hard of hearing Chihuahua trips him/her as he/she enters my apartment. We actually have a sign on our door that says, “Please don’t trip over the guard dog.” 
Our chihuahua, Mac is more of a pet rock then a guard dog

My family is so close with the UPS people here that I would, their the only reason why we get our packages on time (if they come ups) cause the USPS takes so long and we barely receive our parcels on time.
Daygo!!! I went to UCSD
Mac fits him though. Throwing that mac to the other chihuahuas 
A friend of mine had her pug scared when the delivery driver opened the back porch to put her package inside the breezeway. He was so startled he ran right at the guy in a panic and scared him. The driver and pug ended up falling down the few stairs that were there. He just laughed it off and put the dog back inside and left her a note to check her security camera for a good laugh.
*you’re (same for title)
Otherwise, I do think it’s the next logical step. Interesting that Walmart is also trying to compete
This might be safer than requiring a signature or setting it by the door because it is actually in your house.
Touché…Google Chrome’s take on grammar 
I’m all for innovation but allowing access without physical presence or scoping of your house items by Joe the delivery driver does not seem overly innovative (or lays well with me)…burglars have already broke ground there 
Nope!
Can you offer up a better solution? I’d feel more comfortable with this than the current system where packages are left unattended to on the porch, or perhaps someone claims a signature when you’re gone and then poof you’re out of luck.
You read my mind
hell no…they really should just expand the lockers or something this is just asking for trouble.
I probably would not use this service from Amazon.
So given how much hacking we see. I kept my house low-tech its just a lock and key.
In some situations there are key locks, secured to your property and you can already register with couriers like UPS to tell them the pin code.
LOL. Mac would just let you in as long as you don’t wake him up from his beauty sleep.
Chihuahuas are suppose to be good watchdogs…I said watchdogs, didn’t say GUARD dogs. I think my chihuahua is broken. LOL! He is the most low key chihuahua that I have ever known. Rarely ever even barks. He’s more of a monitor not a guard. Hahaha.

This is the reason why I haven’t really used any type of home controls. The closest I had was remote access to my computer, but that was because I use to run programs for Stanford and also did fAH so I wanted to monitor things.
I saw that news this morning. For it, you have to buy an Amazon camera and a smart lock. But if I had these things, I’d definitely give this a try ! So convenient
In China, every community has a place to collect parcels, so if you are not at home, the delivery driver will leave your parcel to that parcel collecting center, then when you get out of work, you could go there to take your parcel. Don’t need to worry about it anymore.

Some buildings in France, especially in Paris have a Concierge. He (or She) can collect your packages when you are not home. Very useful, but it also cost a lot because this person is paid by all the owners in the building.
