Some would be helped by delivering to the correct address. Anything you have for your house (like a camera, special box, etc) won't be helped if the driver delivers to the incorrect address.
It's not super common for us but does happen. Last month I ordered some cat food from Pertsmart and had it as same-day delivery which is through doordash. The driver delivered to my nextdoor neighbor whose address only shares the first two numbers so it was just that the driver didn't look at the full house numbers on the order. That time I did reach out to the driver (you can do it through texting as that's how they communicate your order is on its way) and just gentle let them know that and he responded he was sorry but he thought he had the right house. Luckily we have a good relationship with the neighbor and I just went over to his house and picked it up.
Last month that same nextdoor neighbor's package from
Amazon had gotten delivered to our house so we just dropped it off at their house.
Just after we had gotten back from our vacation in September we had our held mail delivered and in it was a neighbor's small package two houses away, we just dropped it off at their house.
All of our house numbers have to be black, and large enough (HOA rules) so it's not a case of issues seeing the numbers. But in terms of theft that can be harder when either someone in the home takes the package and refuses to give it back or it gets taken off of their property by someone and cameras or other things aren't available.
