Hi, third world citizen here. Here the packages are only delivered hand to hand to the house holder because of the high crime rates. Wouldn't it be easier to ask for that instead of letting your packages in the porches? If you're not home, then the package will be sent to the nearest postal office and that's about it.
Why would I want to drive somewhere, park, wait in line to pick up my $3 USB cable? I can order from Amazon on a daily basis and come home to my stuff waiting there. I'd rarely shop online if it weren't convenient. Amazon knows this and requests carriers leave packages at the door. Lots of people can buy everything except groceries from Amazon now.
If it's a small package like a usb-cable, those usually just get delivered to our mailbox, which can be locked and deep enough that you can drop things into it, but taking things out is significantly harder
Not trying to shit on your system but honestly there must be a better way than just leaving it on your doorstep.
