New Amazon service lets drivers unlock customers' doors

SAN FRANCISCO — No more getting packages stolen. No more worries about being there to receive them. Starting next month, people in 37 U.S. cities can have Amazon drop their package inside their front door, without ever giving anyone a key.

On Nov. 8, Amazon will begin offering a secure-lock service, called Amazon Key, that will give Amazon Logistics delivery personnel a code to unlock a customer's door for 5 minutes. Using a new Amazon device, the Cloud Cam, the entire delivery will be live-streamed to the customer's devices and also sent as a video snippet.

The service is an effort to thwart one of the problems of Amazon's popular package delivery service — package theft — as well as give users "choice, peace of mind and convenience," in the words of Peter Larsen, Amazon's vice president for delivery technology.​
 
If you can't trust Amazon Logistics delivery personnel, who CAN you trust?

Yeah this is creepy. I'd prefer some kind of separate external room they could drop things off in instead, one that has no access to your house/appt.
 
Thanks but no thanks Amazon. I'm sure everything will be cool but I don't want a stranger entering my house when I'm not at home or taking a shower.
 
Someone is going to order one of these and it will be stolen off their porch before they get home.
