Would you let a stranger in your house to drop off a package? Amazon hopes so.
The online retailer said that it will launch a service next month called Amazon Key that would allow delivery people to walk into your home and drop off a box when you’re not there.
Those who want to use the service would need to be an Amazon Prime member and would have to buy a camera and a Wi-Fi-connected lock from the Seattle-based company that starts at USD250. Shoppers will then be able to select in-home delivery on the Amazon app.
When the delivery person shows up, they will knock first, scan the package and Amazon will make sure the delivery person is at the right home and unlock the door. No codes are needed and the indoor camera will record the in-home delivery.
