Re: Would you allow Amazon access to your empty home?
 

My favourite experience was when Tesco delivered something to my house. They left it cunningly concealed under my door mat. The problem is it was an upright vacuum cleaner.

Would I let any courier in to my house? No. EU National or not, you don't know what kind of vetting they've been through. Probably little vetting, especially if they are casual labour. Also, if something were stolen, the first thing the insurance company would ask would probably be "Why are you letting strangers into your house when no one is there?". Shortly before they deny the insurance claim because you let strangers into an unattended house.

Sorry, but I'd far rather they leave the order with a neighbour, or if it's not too valuable, leave it on my doorstep. It would be expensive to implement, but surely a better idea would be for Amazon to provide a secure box that the homeowner can get securely mounted out the front of their house, and the Amazon courier could leave any deliveries in that?

Would your house insurance pay out, if this was the case, I don't think so!

This could work in houses with a porch and second lock.

Re: Would you allow Amazon access to your empty home?
 

it could. It would essentially be a cheaper version of my secure box idea.

Unless its too large, they already provide Amazon Lockers.

Re: Would you allow Amazon access to your empty home?
 

True, and I have made use of them.

Could have been worse...

From the poll it seems that most people aren't exactly enamoured with this idea.

once had a note through the door saying 'parcel left underneath car'

which I thought was strange as I'd just arrived home from work - in the car

upon looking over the fence I saw the parcel under the neighbours car

screw online shopping :D
