the next step is that the entire building/neighborhood designates one house/apartment as the delivery unit, to which all deliveries go. everyone in the area is free to enter this unit and retrieve their package

after that, we use machine learning to schedule deliveries to that unit of products that will likely be ordered in the near future

then we unlock a prime perk that allows customers to enter the delivery unit and select a pre-delivered product first, then place the order before taking it home

this is gonna be so loving disruptive

Canadian neighborhoods have locked personal mailboxes for a given area. Each of the mailbox has a small slot for your personal mail / spam / bills, and 2 bigger locked boxes for larger mail and delivery. The mailman puts the package in one of the locked boxes, then puts the key in your personal mailbox so you can access it.



Just put the poo poo in there, amazon.

Canada Post is actually really good and I pick them for my shipping service if I get the choice because my item either goes in my mailbox if it's small, it goes in the parcel box if it's big, or goes to the post office that's a 10 minute walk away if it's really big or needs a signature, instead of the driver leaving a delivery notice in my lobby instead of even trying my buzzer code and then taking it to some depot in some industrial or port area in the rear end end of nowhere

In the US I've only seen UPS as an option for delivery, except when the ONLY option is USPS, but even when you pick UPS it seems the subcontract to USPS for the final leg of the delivery.

Only way around that is to spring for next day Saturday or other premium service to maintain chain of custody.
When I worked for a a pharma manufacturer we (our customers) would spend crazy $$$$$ on next day Saturday shipping to the next city over for that reason.

here's a more minor security lol that's been overlooked in light of the equifax poo poo:

quote:

Dell Lost Control of Key Customer Support Domain for a Month in 2017

There is a program installed on virtually all Dell computers called “Dell Backup and Recovery Application.” It’s designed to help customers restore their data and computers to their pristine, factory default state should a problem occur with the device. That backup and recovery program periodically checks a rather catchy domain name — DellBackupandRecoveryCloudStorage.com — which until recently was central to PC maker Dell’s customer data backup, recovery and cloud storage solutions.

From early June to early July 2017, DellBackupandRecoveryCloudStorage.com was the property of Dmitrii Vassilev of “TeamInternet.com,” a company listed in Germany that specializes in selling what appears to be typosquatting traffic.

having those at the entrance to a neighborhood is basically a sign that you're a horrible sprawlzone, lmao

those designs are meant for things like a small scale single apartment building, or a few sets of them for a whole complex. and 4 package lockers probably isn't suitable with ever increasing rates of parcel delivery

Pretty much every housing (re)development in Canada since the early/mid 1990s has them, regardless of the area's density.

They were actually in the process of rolling them out universally for the older urban neighborhoods that still had door to door delivery up until the winner of the last federal election put an end to that (but if you had been changed to one even the week before, too bad, no backsies!)
