I wouldn't expect them to actually do that. Between the girlfriend and myself, we get a lot of packages. They usually leave them by the garage door because it's easier / closer. We've told them before they can leave them inside the (unlocked) garage but the general response is "we can't".

Agreed. I'll focus on smaller delivery companies and services at first that have a direct relationship with their customers.

Long term it isn't clear how to initiate a relationship with the largest shippers. It's possible I'll spend years calling into those accounts with nothing to show for it.

I've usually found it more effective to go to a tradeshow where they might show up. They're usually in an exploring and deal making mentality at the shows, and usually at least one senior person is present. A lot of deals get started at tradeshows.
