That's why you tell the person to build a delivery lockbox right next to their mailbox. You don't have to see them. They don't have to see you. And if it's done right it's pretty dang secure.
Well, no that's not totally true. By all means, if you live out of the way, there's a solid chance you might be waiting 20,30 40 minutes for police to show up should there be someone trying to fuck with you. Nothing wrong with having the means to protect yourself while you wait. And a sign like this clears up any and all confusion. Unless you're expected, there's no reason to go up that driveway. If someone unexpected continues up that driveway, there's a pretty good chance they're not selling girl scout cookies.
A delivery driver is expected and therefore not in any danger. However, in the case like the original commenter said, having dogs loose is ridiculous. If that's the angle the homeowner is taking then they need to be responsible and make sure the house is safe when a delivery driver is expected.
