To quote the SMS I got from DHL on Monday, in Denmark:
"Your DHL Express shipment #### from #### is expected to be delivered to you today between 9-20. If you are not at home, you can give DHL power of attorney to deliver the shipment to your address without signature. Reply PROXY and specify location"
Though I actually used their other option, which was to have it delivered to the collection boxes in the nearby supermarket.
I've had other deliveries left with my neighbour, but most seem to end up at the post office.

The issue comes if someone steals it from your porch and then you claim that you never received it. Just having a marking in the delivery system that it was delivered isn't enough proof in court that it actually was delivered and thus the courier company would have to reimburse it. Unless you give them permission to basically sign it in your behalf through giving them the power of attorney.

Errr... so a law that I couldn't have a package left on my protected porch I've never had an issue with or with my neighbors with whom I'm friendly, even if I want to, is "nice"? No thanks.
