Between my wife and I we probably average 10-15 deliveries a month through Amazon. Free shipping and fast delivery. Sometimes it is the Prime truck, sometimes our local mail lady, but they always arrive right in front of our full glass front door on the porch. Our dogs (3) diligently watch under the Roman shade for anything that moves out front. You can watch the Prime people jump when the dogs all hit the glass at full voice. No thefts and no failed deliveries for us. One USPS shipment got sent to a suburb of Louisville and delayed when they re-routed it, but no big deal for us. I guess living in a rural area has its perks.
