To cleanse the palate, let’s not be coy. You’re going to give it to them. Not all of you, but enough of you. If you’re willing to get in some random dude’s car because Uber says it’s safe, you’re willing to let the same random dude into your home when you’re not there because Amazon says it’s safe.

“The new service could represent a shift in how consumers think of Amazon,” notes USA Today. “Not just as the source of packages left on their porch, but as an entity they’re comfortable letting into their homes.” Indeed. This feature is really just their way of acclimating you to the concept of in-home service when you’re away. Their plans are bigger than mere package delivery. Aren’t they always.
 

The code the system sends to the lock is for one time only, and is only valid for five minutes after the delivery person first arrives at the door. Via the app and the lock, the system even knows how close he is to the door and may prompt him to step closer to the door before sending the signal to unlock the door.

After five minutes the door automatically locks itself even if the delivery person hasn’t locked it. If there is any problem with the lock or the service, the app instructs him to stay at the doorway and call Amazon customer service to ensure that the door is closed and locked before leaving, said Larsen.
