Would it be feasible to use a combination padlock and send the number as a part of the address/shipping note?

I'd doubt delivery drivers would have the time. They already sprint to the door with the package or drive right up.

Maybe? Kind of doubt it, though. Plenty of places don't have a delivery-instruction field and a lot of deliveries (again lookin' at you, Amazon) are barely delivered at all. "Chuck it on the front step and go."
