porch delivery

Front step dropoff

Porch delivery is the practice of leaving packages at a recipient's door rather than requiring a signature or handoff.

The term reflects the rise of e-commerce shipping, where drivers drop items on porches, stoops, or doorsteps.

This convenience comes with risks—porch pirates steal unattended packages, prompting doorbell cameras and secure drop boxes.
