Would you allow an Amazon delivery person into your home when you're not there?

Amazon has almost perfected speedy delivery to your home. Now the company is working to make sure your packages get inside the front door, or even into your car.
The company is in advanced talks to forge a partnership with Phrame, a maker of smart license plates that allow items to be delivered to a car's trunk, according to a person with knowledge of the potential deal. Phrame's product fits around a license plate and contains a secure box that holds the keys to the car. Users unlock the box with their smartphone, and can grant access to others — such as delivery drivers — remotely.
At the same time, Amazon is developing a smart doorbell device that would give delivery drivers one-time access to a person's home to drop off items, said two people familiar with the matter.

Amazon will own the United States in 20 years.

I heard on local radio this morning that Wal-Mart is piloting a program in California where not only do they deliver your groceries, they come in the house and put them in your fridge/freezer/pantry.
Call me crazy, but convenience can only go so far; no way someone I don't know is coming in my house when no one is home.

How about moving to a neighborhood where folks don't steal your shite left on your front porch.
They exist, know how I know?
As for refrigerated/frozen items, I guess I could set up a box outside for those goods.
Make it look like a table amidst the porch furniture.
No one from Amazon is going inside my house when I'm not there.

Idk man... sounds cool and all, but also sounds like a massive liability for all parties involved.

Walmart set the curve with this...and my answer is still “hell no”.

Got a buddy that has a delivery door as the side entrance for his house. He can give access for delivery driver to a foyer and then there is a second locked door to the remainder of the house.

Why take that approach when you can buy cameras (also from Walmart) to monitor them?

Only people I want inside my house when no one is home is someone that I have given a key to. That will never change.

Id be ok with the car one but no way anyone like that is coming inside

This sounds like old tech. My (and my girl's) car has remote access and start. If I left a key in the box (attached to the car) you'd be able to access the car without opening the box. And I'm not driving a hooptie so I don't want some box around the licence plate of my car anyway.

That's pretty baller. May have to remember that when I build a house.

Walmart employees definitely. Amazon employees might have motivation to not steal because they could be more than delivery drivers. Amazon posted job listings last year for "home assistants" that would put away groceries, tidy around the house and look for things you might be missing that you should buy from Amazon.
quote:
It suggests that if a Prime customer orders paper towels or other household products from, oh say, Amazon, then the assistant would come by when they’re delivered and put them away.
Additionally, the ad notes that assistants would “advise customers on regular cleaning service visits and grocery replenishment offerings,” which suggests that the employees could also sell customers on products they might need
The Seattle Times reports that the service — which would come in the form of a team including a professional cleaner and a helper — aims to provide “timesaving assistance to Amazon Prime members,” so they can run an “errand-free” home.
“If you love making a house feel like a home then this is the role for you,” the ad states, noting that assistants would “become awesome at” washing and folding laundry, restocking essentials and groceries.

Even the best neighborhoods (without gates obvi) have people that troll from seedier parts of town looking for packages.
Rich people buy nicer shite online

I'm at five years of no one messing with any of my or (to my knowledge) my neighbor's stuff.
COULD it happen? Sure.
Not likely though if you knew where I live.
