I like the concept, but I don't like the brand lock-in.

Plus I imagine for branding reasons these boxes would be highly visible and more visible than most packages would be.

You give me a subtle box that can be opened by UPS, FedEx, USPS, and Amazon Logistics and I'm game.

And please make them insulated. And I would prefer a rustic, vintage design. Here is a gallery to take inspiration from:

I'm only half kidding.. the amount of insulated packaging waste from when I had my Gobble (one of those cook-it-yourself food deliveries) subscription was one reason why I cancelled it.

The USPS will never allow it. Only USPS deliveries are allowed in any USPS receptacle.
Everyone except USPS then. I've been kicking around the idea myself. Something like a package box with a slide down ramp, so you can't pull anything out when delivering something new.
You can get one of these on Amazon.
