Environmental groups are pushing Amazon to deliver even more packages in their original packaging, so that additional packaging isn't needed. There's just one enormous problem with that. In many areas porch package thefts are a tremendous problem. This will almost certainly make it worse since it makes targeting of high ticket items easier. Also, the original packaging of many items is designed for bulk transport in the shipping chain to stores or warehouses, not for the rigors of last mile delivery. Even more damaged deliveries seem certain. And with Amazon's return operations seemingly swamped with returns these days, this is all likely to get much worse.
