Ordering products online has become a popular way to shop, leading to a massive rise in package deliveries. As a result, Amazon developed Amazon Key to keep your packages safe with the help of your garage door.
What Is Amazon Key In-Garage Delivery?
Amazon Key is available to Amazon Prime members. With this program, you can have delivery drivers leave packages inside your garage — rather than on your doorstep — when you order something from Amazon. This option is often appealing to people who are often away from home when their packages arrive or who’ve dealt with packages getting stolen in the past.
How Does It Work With Garage Door Openers?
Amazon garage delivery works with myQ, a smartphone app for opening and closing your garage door from anywhere. Many garage door opener brands offer openers with myQ compatibility, and you can install a myQ Smart Garage Hub on any opener made by a major manufacturer after 1993.
Once you have an opener with myQ compatibility, you can set up the myQ app and connect it to your Amazon account. Then you can select Amazon Key delivery when you check out on the Amazon app or site. When your delivery person drops off your package, they’ll complete a multifactor authentication process to ensure they’re at the right house and delivering the right products. They’ll receive a one-time code to open your door through myQ and complete the delivery. No keys or garage door codes change hands.
All Amazon delivery drivers undergo background checks to support safe in-garage delivery, and you can connect a smart garage camera if you want additional oversight to the process.
Benefits of Amazon Key
Homeowners use Amazon Key for:
- Safer deliveries: If you’ve experienced package theft, you know how important it is to bring your packages inside as soon as they’re delivered. With Amazon Key, you don’t need to be home or loop in your neighbor when a package arrives. Keep all deliveries secure in your garage until you get home.
- Process transparency: With everything happening through the myQ app, you’ll know when your driver has opened and closed the door. Enjoy complete certainty about when your package was delivered and have confidence that your door is closed when they leave.
