How do you get your packages if you aren't home?

My neighborhood is safe enough to leave the front door wide open for days. Literally had to do this during construction. No issues. Packages on the porch are beyond a non-issue.

    They try again next day, then leave it in the nearest pickup point where I can pickup my package by showing them the code and sometimes they ask for my ID.

    So every single package is hand delivered? That's crazy to me.

    That is a special service here usually requiring a signature. They are uncommon.

    I worked in logistics. I am not exaggerating when I say you have seconds per package on your route, and no I don't just mean Amazon. Waiting 2 minutes at every door to wait for someone to answer would mean we'd need 5-10x the staffing.

    How does that even work? 95% of your customers are going to be at they're own job not sitting at home.

    When I worked for USPS the number ~8 seconds per mailbox. Not an exaggeration.

    In theory yes, in practice they often pretend I'm not home (twice) and then make me pick it up from the pickup point. But big packages always get hand delivered because pickup points don't accept them.

    That's why I send them to a company address. They don't so this with businesses.

    Usually if you're working you send it to your workplace, if that's not an option you pick it up on the pickup point.
