Comment on In case you weren’t sure which box

  I like the solution in the picture. This way, whether the delivery person looks to the left or right of the road, there is a sign to help guide them. If they focus on the right, they see the box. If they focus on the left, they see the sign telling them to direct their focus on the right.

  If there was instead just the sign/box both on the left as you suggest, a delivery person may focus on the right and miss it completely.

    I have a box for deliveries next to my garage. I put a big sign on the lid of the box so you can see it when you walk up the driveway, but not from the street. Still, some of my deliveries get taken to the front door despite my instructions I entered into their app.

    This is a great idea. I wonder if some delivery persons are approaching from the other side of the house and walking across the yard. I think I might see if I can order a custom door mat with an arrow pointing towards the box…

  “I already placed the box before putting up the sign! Duh.”

  Most delivery vehicles have their exit door on the right (curb) side so this is hopefully easier for the driver and therefore more likely to be used.
