This may not be an option, but I have everything delivered to my work. I alert the guys in shipping I have something coming in and they take good care of it until I return.
Protect your booty

I wish I had this option. Would save me a lot of headaches trying to find people to sign for my stuff.
I would file a claim with the delivery company. I have had notifications that shit was delivered and signed for and it wasnt. 3 days later it was delivered and the driver signed for it. Uhhhh, that defeats the purpose of the signature.
drivers being in on it hasssss to be a thing. Like it would surprise me less that all politicians tell the truth all the time.

Good areas is where the valuable booty is.
Poors don't order valuable booty, plus, they don't have jobs other than burglarizing and porch pirating in good areas, so they're usually home during the day.
I’m a big fan of Wyze cameras. They are under $25. Require no service agreement unless you want the added capabilities.
they are small enough not to make you look like a bank but overt enough that they will be scene to help dissuade people.
I run a bunch of them on my house and they work great day or night.
I even run one in my home where my gun locker ammo, reloading supplies and tools are. If the kids get too close I can see and if anyone wanted to steel the stuff no way they aren’t getting picked up on camera

Cool story, Bro. FedEx lost 16 pounds of my gunpowder a couple days ago.
Damn that sucks. I have 16lbs if powder that should’ve been delivered yesterday. So I feel that. Hopefully something gets figured out for your sake.
They seem to be 'losing' a lot of gun related stuff all of a sudden, especially 9mm ammo.
I do the same thing. Everything I order comes to my work. Everything. Even my two rifles from CMP were delivered to the office. If something is delivered to the house, it’s because my wife ordered it and she didn’t want me to see it.
. I usually do though, because she never checks the porch.
1) Ring works pretty damn good. Viewed thru my ipad I can see what's up.
2) Taking a pic of the package on your porch is a joke. There was a driver caught on cam taking the pic, sending the notification, then stealing the package. LMAO...
3) It's only as good as the people in your area. A masked thief isn't going to care about a cam.

Karma for buying something from amazon. And your next move is to pay amazon to spy on you? WTF
Maybe not all the people in the surrounding suburbs are idiots......
Or, maybe they are?
I have cameras everywhere, some visible others no so much. I also have a creepy female mannequin head looking out a barn window.
I think bad people will, for the most part, steal elsewhere. This includes sketch Amazon drivers who might be thinking about after hours gigs.

I've had Amazon tell me stuff was delivered but wasn't. I have a Ring doorbell and checked it.
On issue I have had with the ring doorbell is that even though it is hard wired, in the cold months the battery will run down.

That’s good to know on the battery life in the winter. I live in Colorado and it gets pretty cold some days
Mine is a couple years old. Maybe the new ones are better. When I say hardwired, it is low voltage just like a regular door bell. Really easy install.
Ring is running a "black friday" special and I just ordered thier flood light. Since it should be 110v maybe it won't have the same problem.
The prices on Amazon are the same price as direct from Ring.
I will also mention there is a delay when it contacts my phone, whether it is motion or if someone actually presses the button. It may be my cell carrier (AT&T) or my internet speed. I would still recommend it.

I have been thinking of installing a parcel box on my porch. Just a simple wooden box with a door and a padlock. The driver just has to place it in and close the padlock.
I went with an ARLO instead of a RING and it's on sale presently. Very pleased with it and planning on adding the Pro 3 cameras and base station shortly:
Arlo: Video Doorbells
A smarter way to see who’s at your door. Get notifications when motion is detected and view live video on your phone. Speak to visitors with clear two-way audio or respond with pre-recorded quick reply messages if you’re busy.

Don’t play with my heart like thatI have some brand new Redding dies for sale in the PX. Cheap.
Jeff Bezos. I thought I saw where he just bought Ring........
I have a Ring system and it's been pretty good. One gripe I do have with it is that every time they have an App update (and it's often), all of my personalized tones settings and alerts get trashed. I had turned a lot of the audio/audible alerts off. Other than that, it's good to be able to monitor your house from anywhere in the world. I didn't sign up for Ring monitoring. What I did do is to call the local Sheriff's Office and get their local phone number and e-mail. Haven't had to use it yet. I tend to think that burglars see it on the house/driveway and just move on to easier pickings. I have a Ring yard sign but decided against putting it up. Seems like it could actually be inviting trouble.
edit; Oh, for anyone considering putting in a network type alarm. Do yourself a favor and upgrade your network hardware and your ISP/speed. I gutted mine and put in a Net Gear Orbi system. Not one problem, been very happy.

I figured my ISP speed was an issue.
Did the same with the local SD phone. The last few years prior to covid I was traveling alot. It gives some piece of mind for sure.
+1 for a proper camera setup (and no, I'm not talking about a single crappy WiFi camera connected to "the cloud").
Ain't cheap, ain't the easiest to install (oh man do I wish I'd had the foresight to pull Cat6 through the eaves the last time I did the roof/facia/soffit), and getting the cameras and NVR configured isn't a five-minutes job. But it's pretty cool to be out for dinner, get a push notification on our phones, and be able to pull up live video of whoever is fucking around in the driveway. It's also nice to see if a buddy is using my workshop, or just being able to find the kids without their mother screaming like a mad woman from every door and window (OK, that still happens regardless of the camera network
).
