How Does Amazon Garage Delivery Work?

1. If you're an Amazon Prime member, select "Free Key Delivery" at checkout.
2. After Amazon processes your order, you will receive several notifications. The first notification is a four-hour window of when the delivery driver should arrive at your home.
3. When the driver arrives, they will scan and verify your package to open up your linked garage door. (You will not need to open the garage door for them!)
4. Once your garage door is open, the driver will place your delivery inside.
5. When the delivery is complete, the driver will close your garage door and stay on the property until it is fully closed and secure.

In addition to the real-time notifications during the delivery process, you also have the option to watch the delivery as it happens via camera.

Do I Need a Camera for In-Garage Delivery Service?

While you're not required to have a security camera, you should consider installing one. After connecting your garage door to the Amazon Key app, you can follow these optional steps:

• Set up an Amazon Cloud Cam or another security camera to track all deliveries.
• Take a picture of your garage door to help the delivery staff find it.
• Leave delivery instructions to place packages in the location of your choice.

When the driver comes, you'll be able to view their activity from your phone. You could also use video clips as evidence in case of theft.

Is Amazon myQ Garage Delivery Safe?

The primary purpose of Key by Amazon is to provide safe and effective delivery of your valuables. Your garage is like a temporary locker room for your packages. Instead of wondering if your items will be there when you get home, you'll know they're secure from weather damage and theft. These are some of the safety features that Amazon implements with this delivery service:

• Upon employment, all drivers have to complete a background check. They also need to submit motor vehicle records.
• Amazon confirms the driver has the correct package before granting access to your garage.
• Amazon will never give your access codes or any keys to the driver.
• You'll receive a notification during each step of the delivery process.
• You'll receive a video receipt showing the delivery in real time or a recorded video clip.

Amazon takes care of any fear you may have about the safety of your packages and your home. On top of these security features, they also offer a Key by Amazon Happiness Guarantee. If you are not satisfied with your delivery experience, you can file a complaint.
