It is totally the responsibility of the courier and not the individual delivering the package.

Legally yes, of course you are correct.

However if you want your parcels delivered safely chat with the local delivery person.
I talked to all of mine explaining that the outer front door is never locked and can they leave it inside the porch rather than on the doorstep.
I now know when a new local person starts as the parcels go back to being on the step.
