“Amazon Key is a service exclusively for Prime members that radically improves the convenience of receiving deliveries,” the e-commerce provider announced. “Amazon Key enables in-home delivery and secure home access for guests and service appointment.”
But the announcement drew skeptics: “Amazon wants to let strangers into your house and train a surveillance camera on your front door. Oh, and they’d like you to pay them $250 for the privilege.
Skeptical? So are many who saw today’s announcement of “Amazon Key,” a new service to make home deliveries even more convenient, available exclusively to Amazon Prime members.
This may make sense in cities ( like rows of brownstones in New York) where leaving a package on a doorstep is crazy- but then leaving a delivery person in your home (when your not home) in New York is– living in the digital age. ?
