What idiot criminal that breaks into houses would have the money to pay for this access?
The same criminals that buy credit card numbers from recent hacks. They even have tired pricing for card numbers, ranging from a Chase Freedom to an Amex Platinum
Theres probably a black market app for that

OT Baller wannabes. They posted job listings last year for Home Assistants that would do things like unload groceries and do laundry. If you make enough money to hire a maid, order the maid from Amazon and they'll handle your groceries and packages too.

I'm building my garage with a double entrance, so basically I have a little room sealed off from the rest of my house for package delivery. I'd do it.

Sounds like Brazzers just discovered their next wave of movie plots.

I get so much stuff from amazon, that I've considered giving the UPS guy access to a hidden key to my storage shed for his use.

A guy I work with made the point about Siri, or in his device Google. “You know they are always listening?” And he’s right. Just say “hello Google” or “Alexa” and it chimes in. It’s always listening. Always.......

I get that, but no way in hell the UPS man can just roll into my back door.
After reading into it, they aren't allowing UPS or FedEX in. This will only be done by Amazon couriers and only available in those cities that have Amazon couriers.

You don't have to sign up for it. It's not an intrusion if you tell them to do it.

In Albuquerque, where packages are routinely stolen off doorsteps, this isn't such a bad thing. I wouldn't utilize it, but it's definitely something I'm sure some people would demand.

What kind of fee are we taking about for the delivery?

here's why - 11M packages stolen in the US (from a 2016 article)
I had one stolen a couple of years back. I contacted Amazon and they had another one at my door in 2 days with signature required for delivery. It was one of those FedEx SmartPost packages they hand off to the postal service. The replacement was just sent regular FedEx. Nothing I order is usually that expensive, and I know they will make it right, but it happens, even on a busy street like mine. Thankfully I just let my neighbors know to grab something off the porch if my wife isn't going to be home. Between the two neighbors and my wife, someone is usually home.

you do realize that there is a huge difference between a person that is willing to break into someones home, knowing that what they are doing may get them killed and likely for only a few bucks, as opposed to someone sitting behind a computer ordering shite online with your credit card # knowing they will likely never be caught.

Seems to me, like anybody who could afford this would already live in a neighborhood that didn’t have to worry about theft
