> I find the "include the code in the address" solution pretty elegant, though. This seems to me like a better solution for their suburban single-family house. ...in fact, it's so much a better solution that I can't imagine Amazon hadn't considered it

Not following, Amazon has an option for "include key code" in their orders

But no option to instruct the delivery person to use that for anything other than access to a gate or building common area. He's taking the concept one step further to using the code for the delivery person to open one's main/front door.
