Most Americans Don't Want Amazon Entering Their Homes

Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) wants to make it easier for customers to receive deliveries without them being stolen or subject to bad weather. It wants to drop the packages off inside buyers' homes.

To do that, the online retailer plans to introduce Amazon Key, a service for Prime members launching Nov. 8 in 37 cities. The pilot program gives an Amazon delivery driver one-time access to the buyer's home after they elect the "in-home" delivery option and set themselves up with a special camera and restricted-access lock.

Getting deliveries like that may be convenient, but it's apparently not something the majority of Americans are comfortable with. Over two-thirds (68%) of 2,0211 U.S. adults surveyed by Morning Consult between Oct. 26-30 said they are not comfortable letting delivery drivers have access to their homes. Over half (53%) said the idea makes them "very uncomfortable."
