The problem they're trying to solve is that since so many people receive packages these days those '5 large lockable mailboxes' aren't enough anymore and packages end up getting left out in the open. Also lots of places don't have those large lockable mailboxes at all. Then package theft happens. So not so much innovation in the mailbox space than just adding more "lockable mailboxes" for people to use as needed.

They can leave the package at the Grocery Store across the street, which is a pick-up centre for FedEx and UPS.

Silicon Valley is not solving these problems in any meaningful way.
