Don't get me wrong, I'm all for consumerism, but if you got to the point where the business you're buying products from has the key to your house just so you can keep up with deliveries, maybe it's time to reconsider your spending habits.

And while you're at it maybe give them your bank account details so that they can just sell you stuff that their AI thinks you want.

I do that with a monthly clothing service and it works pretty well, so I guess YMMV.

It's the best option if your alternative is mailing to a PO Box. Also I like this company August which makes a similar product. I'd rather just let the delivery person in remotely each time. I read August is also making a robot to deliver your groceries to your refrigerator.

And I know Snap has been trying to do Snap2Store. Their head hardware guy made the Ring doorbell hardware. He also made some thermal imaging system. I'd probably give Snap a key to my house with Snapdrones surveilling. (Automonous social ephemerality to highlight my life?)

alternative take - if you got to the point where you're getting in your car and driving around town for everyday necessities like groceries, pantry items, toothpaste, socks, replacement usb cables, vacuum cleaner filters, etc. with maybe the occasional splurge on something frivolous, maybe it's time to reconsider your shopping habits.
