One thing we can be sure of is that Amazon’s creativity has no limits, plus he’s always coming up with new services to keep his customers happy. So… what better way to expand your range of possibilities when it comes to receiving your orders? called in car delivery with which the delivery men can open your car and leave the packages inside the trunk.
Amazon will be able to leave your packages in the trunk of your car without you being present
A few months ago Amazon (which does not want to lose a single sales opportunity) created the service based on the use of smart locksthrough which delivery men can have a unique access code to the lock of customers’ houses and enter them to leave the orders directly in the fridge.
But perhaps this proposal is very daring for many Amazon users who prefer not to completely place their trust in delivery people, or even perhaps they need the order urgently when they are away from home, so the company has presented an extension of this service: in car delivery, which promises fast and very comfortable deliveries directly to the car, as you can see in the following video:
And it sounds quite tempting to be in a work meeting, visiting a friend or even at the movies while ordering your orders with Amazon in-car Delivery. At the end you will only have to drive back home, because your packages will already be in the trunk.
How to request deliveries under the in-car Delivery system
At the moment in-car Delivery is available in 37 US citiesand to request it, it will suffice to configure an application with which The car in which you want to receive the order will be linked with a unique access for the delivery person. Amazon will ask for some extra data like the make, model and color of your car.
As soon as you allow access to your car, you can have full control of the delivery operation, and for example block access to your car at any time through the application, as a security and precautionary measure that Amazon wants to give its users. You can see the benefits that Amazon mentions with in-car Delivery in the following video:

The restrictions that the in-car Delivery service has
Of course it’s not that easy, since one of the main restrictions to accessing in-car Delivery is that it will only work in cars of manufacturers GM and Volvo manufactured from 2015 since they are the ones that have the necessary technology, although in the future it could include other brands.
Another restriction is that they cannot be received under this modality. packages whose value exceeds 1,300 dollars, will have to be carried out exclusively by , so items from external sellers will also be ruled out, and for obvious reasons, the car It must be parked in a place accessible to the public.
Amazon had already launched a similar service in the past
In fact this It is not a new proposal by the retail giant. about the alliance they formed Amazon, Audi and DHL in order for the delivery men to leave the packages directly in the trunks of the cars (in this case the Audi cars, of course).
Perhaps at the time the proposal was too bold, not to mention that Amazon could not fully support security with a third-party delivery driver, not to mention that the service would be extremely expensive for the company.
It will be a matter of time to know if the new in-car Delivery proposal works this time for Jeff Bezos’s company and if this type of deliveries becomes popular and expand globally.
