even the name is too much imo, when i delivered pizza some places had their system like this, i don't like strangers knowing that. it's too personal.

the picture is really, really too far. only the most utter HOA boomer could even potentially spin needing to know that. and you can of course imagine the issues with it.

this is to prevent you open the door for a fraud telling you he has your package. it's a safety measure.

i think uber does this as well.

As a former Amazon driver, ain’t nobody got time to knock on your door and wait for you to answer/receive your package.

I delivered hundreds of packages a day and, maybe, interacted with 2/3 people, and typically because they were outside when I pulled up.

Standard delivery for Amazon is customer requested location and a photo.

In my region it's different. If you don't have a spot configured to drop it off, they will ring and wait. But if there's multiple recipients in the building, they will ring all of them at once, then distribute packages from the elevator to the people waiting on their levels.
