I think in the rural scenario an onsite lockbox has a bunch of advantages. Just need a way to direct deliveries to it without calling huge attention to it.

You'd think you could just fill in a textbox with a description of where the lockbox is when you make your order, and Amazon could forward that information to the delivery company.

Not quite as automated, but once you get the tracking number, go to UPS.com or wherever, and "add delivery instructions".
My parents have a plastic container slightly hidden in some bushes (ie not visible from the road), and the postman just leaves packages in there.
