OP, maybe just live without Amazon for a couple of months.

Wow that is so bizarre. If the tenants were intent on changing the locks, I wonder why they didn't just go to Home Depot buy a new lockset for the front door and replace it. Its a 1 hour job. Their more devious method seems more difficult and expensive.

And I wonder why they did it? Were they planning to squat? Or did they want to block landlord access during the tenancy? Answers not expected, just questions in my own mind.
