I got a fancy locking outdoor box for my stoopand the delivery people couldn’t even bother to press the latch on top to lock it closed. So don’t get one if you expect them to do one step more than toss it inside. I NEVER had success with giving them the code for multiple deliveries. Hell, one delivery guy walked around my box in the middle of my stoop to set a parcel by my door anyway.

I finally just got a PO Box. Most if not all of the post offices in the city now support direct addressing, so your Box has a street address and the box number looks like an apt number. I get Amazon, fedex, etc all sent to my handy and cheap PO Box! If you buy the smallest one, they just hold your packages at the counter for you. Some even have Amazon-ish lockers for easy pickup with a QR code.
