I think it is a bad idea that probably will be nixed at some point.


Not because a driver stole something from the house. It will probably be due to a failure in thinking the door is locked when it really wasn't secure. The door may either open up after the driver has left or someone is watching the house during the delivery and tests the door. Since the device isn't an alarm system, the owner of the house won't be notified that an unauthorized person is walking into the house.

Also, I wonder what Amazon will do if 2 people are required to deliver a package and 1 person must enter the house to deliver it. I am thinking something like a table or TV that may not be easy to place while standing outside the front door. Plus, who would be liable if the delivery person has to slide a large package through the front door and somehow the floors and/or walls get damaged in the process; Amazon or the delivery company?
