Here in my neighbourhood, Canada Post puts the package in one of the big compartments in the community mailbox, puts the key for that compartment into my compartment, and I get the package securely, whether I'm home at the time or not. No in-the-bushes, no stolen-from-the-porch, no you-weren't-here-so-here's-a-card-to-go-pick-it-up-at-some-local-business-during-their-business-hours.
Some of the arguments about this seem to come to a false dichotomy of "Canada Post delivers to the door" or "Canada Post can't deliver it so commercial couriers get the business", where that simply isn't the case. All (or virtually all?) newly developed areas for the last almost-40 years have had community mailboxes from the start.
It's my understanding that community mailboxes now service more than half the country. They don't seem to be causing us problems, so why is it an existential crisis to convert legacy areas with to-the-door delivery to community mailboxes?
