[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The vendors goal is to sell products and to advertise their goods.  It is in their interest that people see just how many purchases are made from their store or of their products and packaging is an excellent way that is relatively cheap (the additional cost of branded packaging instead of plain anonymous packaging is low) for them to get widespread name and product recognition.

Security is the customer/consumer's responsibility.  When you make your decision about where to live you have various tradeoffs.  One is the security of the area and the security of the residence.  If you happen to live in a higher crime area, then you have to take into account how to handle deliveries of any sort.  For some, that means living in buildings with doormen/front desks that have people to receive packages.  For others, they have the option to have deliveries elsewhere, whether friends, offices, etc.  If you have none of the above, then you need to pay for a drop-off location.  You can rent a post office box or a UPS box and both will accept deliveries on your behalf and save them for when you can pick them up.
