> If you live in a gated residential complex, how is the food delivery person supposed to meet you? Same issue.

I know some people who just provides the gate code in the delivery instructions that UPS and FedEx uses to open the gate. This is becoming more necessary in my experience because of Amazon using gig workers for delivery.

Hasn't been an issue.




I would have thought part of what you pay for with a gated community is someone at the gate to receive your parcels at the gate for you?


That only applies to large, sprawling residential communities that have guards. Smaller-scale multi-family housing buildings (that have say, 20 units) with a locked gate at the entrance won't have the type of service you're describing.
