Best Delivery Security with Amazon Key: How OS Systems Keeps Your Packages Safe

OS Systems • May 28, 2025

When delivery drivers leave packages in lobbies, vestibules, or outside entrances, they’re typically exposed to bad weather, delays, and theft. For multi-unit buildings and gated communities, Amazon Key offers a safer way to manage package deliveries that prioritizes security and convenience.


Keep reading to learn how Amazon Key works, what makes it an ideal delivery solution for residential buildings, and how OS Systems can guide you through setup, integration, and ongoing support.

What Is Amazon Key?

Amazon Key is a secure, automated delivery service that streamlines Amazon deliveries in residential buildings. Instead of leaving packages in unsecured areas, the system gives verified Amazon drivers time-limited access to building entrances, package rooms, or secure delivery zones to safely place deliveries indoors, even when residents are away at work or on vacation.


The best part? The Amazon Key service, including the device, installation, and ongoing maintenance, is free for eligible properties.


Why Amazon Key Works

Traditional delivery methods can leave packages outside in plain sight or require front desk staff or building managers to buzz in drivers, often multiple times daily. This process wastes time and increases the risk of missed deliveries and resident complaints.


Here’s how Amazon Key improves your delivery process:



  • Reduces staff workload by eliminating the need to buzz in Amazon drivers constantly
  • Prevents package theft by storing deliveries securely indoors, keeping parcels safe from weather and porch pirates
  • Reduces delivery delays since drivers no longer need to wait for access or return with undelivered packages — everything gets dropped off the first time
  • Improves resident satisfaction by ensuring packages arrive on time, in good condition, and without the hassle of pickup or missed deliveries


Amazon Key Works with Most Access Systems

Amazon Key is compatible with most electronic access systems in condos, apartments, and gated communities across Alberta and beyond. It can integrate with common intercoms, smart locks, and access control panels, making it a flexible option for older and newer buildings.


Once installed, the system runs in the background without extra effort from staff or residents. Amazon handles the access control and delivery scheduling, letting your team focus on other tasks.
