Same, but this is irrelevant to the point GP was making. Some minority of people do want Amazon Key (and similar services), and those people are now unable to claim their package wasn't delivered once they sign up for the service.

Add those people up and you have something worth millions, even if there aren't many of them.

I live in a townhouse and I _love_ the Key deliveries into my garage. I've been using it since it was a closed beta, and I haven't had a problem with it.

It provides a convenient service for both parties.

I fully suspect though that the people who do want Amazon Key and the people who are happily defrauding Amazon are not one and the same.

I realise that there are the porch pirates who are another issue entirely!
