For this, packages are surprisingly often left at our door or in the garden…

No, as long as the box has a retrieval lock or can only be opened with a key, it's okay. I just wanted one that can be used for as long as it takes to fill up, also by different delivery people. Open flap: put package in: close door means only one delivery person can use it. Then Hermes comes... or something... then it doesn't work again.

That only works with parcels. As far as I know, the transfer of risk for insured packages only occurs upon the recipient’s signature. Placing them in the parcel boxes is therefore legally no different from simply leaving them in front of the door.

Not if you arrange a storage agreement with the shipping service provider. We have placed a large garden wooden chest where all packages can be put. It works great.

Even if off-topic: At least for DHL customers with a customer account on Paket.de, it is possible to define preferred neighbors and drop-off locations for the delivery person. You could, for example, simply define your mailbox as the drop-off location. My packages always go to "Mr. No Neighbor Delivery," who lives in my building. It works great!

Not if you arrange a storage contract with the shipping service provider. We have set up a large garden wooden chest where all packages can be placed. Works great.

Works except for Hermes. Then in the evening I get the packages from various neighbors, usually 2 houses away, brought to me.

Since my wife discovered [EBay Kleinanzeigen] for you, packages and shipments arrive four days a week...
That is insane.
