Glad you got your packages.
I have a tall planter next to the door. I emptied out the back end against the wall to put in new soil and plants. When I did that, the postman put a package there. Shortly after that, so did UPS. I now have a hidden package spot that the delivery people automatically use.
I'm pretty comfortable with it. The only gray area is that people constantly come to the door to sell, proselytize and petition. I'm half expecting one of them to grab a package. They don't seem very observant though. You have to look directly into the planter to see even a large package.
