My local delivery drivers would probably laugh in my face if I asked them to use one of these. My USPS delivery guy already just throws my mail at my door from the bottom of my porch steps as it is.
Maybe leave it open and they just push it shut?
Canât imagine how many critters would make a home in that if you left it openâŚincluding small children.
This would be better for small businesses/churches since delivery drivers are instructed not to leave packages at the door of a business. I may order this for our church.
I bought this exact item at Costco for about the same price. The only issue with it is the touchpad is in a difficult place to use, and the numbers arenât well separated, so itâs unlikely that the first time you enter the code that you will get it right. Otherwise, itâs a decent item for the price. Full assembly required as itâs flat packed.
Iâve been looking for something to store birdseed outside, wonder if this is the solution. Critters always find a way to eat through the plastic deck boxes.
No need to leave it open. Actually you create a profile on UPS, FedEx, USPS, and Amazon. Leave the desired code you choose in the special delivery instructions which will then show to the delivery person on their transponder. The link below walks you thru the process
I bought one of these from Costco for $10 more a few monthâs ago and LOVE it. It does need to be bolted down to concrete (no big deal). It also comes with 2 sets of keys if the keypad battery goes dead which is good. This is def worth the $$ for peace of mind if you are concerned about porch pirates.
The code can be changed. Use & Assembly - CleverMade
LOL.If you actually believe busy delivery people will take the time to punch in a code read the reviews on Amazon.
If this was available before I bought BoxLock, I would have gotten this. This is simplier to use for the delivery people. All the carriers has been mostly conscientious in delivering to my BoxLock and eager to help prevent porch pirates.
I love this idea, and itâs almost too cheap not to buy, but I just know that my delivery people will not use it. I will have to stay with my porch video monitoring. So far, no porch pirates. The Amazon people especially are so underpaid and so under the gun. If itâs not required, they are not going to do it.
I have considered just putting something like an unlocked footlocker on the porch, with a sign on top asking for packages to be put inside â then it wonât be visible to passers by. They would probably just put the package on top of the footlocker (like a display) and take a picture of it.
Within two seconds of watching that video i realized no delivery person will ever use it.
I worked for AmazonFlex delivery in the pastâŚwhen I had deliveries to boxes of this type (usually out in the country, peeps homes way away from the road/gate and donât want driverâs on their property) I WOULD use the box, take appropriate pics showing customerâs items were IN their box, make any delivery notes (for time purposes) and move onâŚpeeps who DONâT use the boxes, IMO, are usually too lazy, or are waay behind in their deliveries! I no longer do AmazonFlex, too much headache, low pay, and too much warehouse âpoliticsâ, for my likingâŚ(esp being a woman of a certain âageâ and sticking out like a sore thumb!) I seemed to make allll the youngâuns ânervousâ, as I did MY j.o.b., and did it wellâŚ
anywho, yall DO know you CAN report the AMAZON driverâs, if/when your deliveries are NOT done correctly!!?? if you donât, it will only continue! if you DO, it thins the herd!!
But, I like the idea of an outside backyard box to deter the âwildlifeâ (hehe) The squeeedals in our yard are a brazen bunch!! Even tho we have 2-GSDâs, the squeeedals still think they own the area!! And I would luv to be able to keep some of my yard stuff closer to the house, than in our little shedâŚmay have to give this thing some serious thought!!
This is something I had often wished for when I was a homeownerâŚbut, now it would be nice if I could do this as an apartment (actually, an independent living facility) dweller, though I think the landlord wouldnât want me bolting it to the floor of the hallway (common area.) Though the front desk sure would like it if the delivery people would leave stuff at my front door (Iâm disabled, so theyâd rather the delivery person complete the delivery then having to do it for them.)
But, I have my delivery instructions for deliveries to come to my frontdoor. And, the frontdesk has often asked delivery people to take things to my frontdoor. But, Amazon delivery people have straight out lied to front desk people claiming that the instructions are for them to leave my packages at the front desk. Iâve spoken to CS numerous times, and they keep assuring me that its on record that theyâre to deliver directly to my apartment⌠And, marking the delivery as failing to follow instructions and being unprofessional doesnât seem to change anything.
But, I do make it a point to praise the delivers to do show up to my doorâŚbut of course, the system then anonymousizes the praise, so theyâll never know when they did the right thing or didnât.

So what happens if I order this and it gets stolen? 
Thats a bad day!
I just am here to comment that I LOVE the fact the person who wrote the description for this product:
â
Get your very own mimic, now with non-biting action!
What looks like a loot box and magically opens with a single touch? A Mimic Lockbox! Now you get to come home everyday and find TREASURE! And by âtreasureâ we mean mail and by âmagicâ we mean digital keypad. YAY!â
Is very obviously a Borderlands 2 fan - specifically a fan of the âTiny Tinaâs Assault on Dragons Keepâ DLC 
Thatâs exactly what our Amazon folks do. We have a big plastic bin right by the front door, and nine times out of ten the package goes on top of the bin or even next to it.
