Do we know yet what the probability of packaging borne transmission is? Has anyone seen anything? I saw one study describing virus lifetime on various surfaces but I don't think they tested cardboard.

Also I don't know what they're expecting. They either have mountains of stock or they'll be laying these people back off soon when factories close. I think supplies out of China are still disrupted.

NPR talked about a study testing cardboard actually. Up to 24h under ideal conditions.

That's actually really good news, thank you. You can just leave packages outside for a day or two.

Where do you live that you can leave packages outside for more than an hour?

My neighborhood has eight houses per acre. We've had no problems with stolen packages even when left out overnight. This is the exurban fringe of metro Atlanta.

You're on the exurban fringe and you're at .125 acre lots?
