I've nearly tripped over packages left right in front of my front
door and almost ran over one near the garage.

I've been home when packages are delivered. The mail carrier here
usually doesn't ring the doorbell unless something requires a
signature.


Ok if your porch is sheltered from the rain.


It it well enough except when there's too much wind. Also there's a
hedge so the package isn't visible from the street.

I may want to set up some kind of switch that turns on a light if
anyone steps on the porch. Preferably one that can tell the
difference between delivery people and cats.


Do you get lots of deliveries after dark?
