I haven't had any problems with theft, but, if a package were stolen from my porch, I would expect it to be their responsibility, even if they emailed me a photo of a "delivered" package. Am I wrong?
Delivery Information
"If no one is at the address when delivery is attempted, we will leave the package in a secure location. If no secure location is available, or the delivery requires someone to be present, Amazon will send an e-mail to the e-mail address on file. We'll make three delivery attempts on consecutive days. If the third delivery attempt is unsuccessful your package will be returned to Amazon for a refund.
You may find that the tracking will sometimes show that a package has been delivered, but you haven't received it. In these instances, check to see if the package was left with a receptionist or neighbor. Deliveries can occur between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. local time. To avoid disturbing you, our drivers will knock on the door, ring the doorbell, or directly contact you for delivery only between the hours of 8:00 am - 8:00 pm local time, unless your delivery is scheduled or requires a signature. For scheduled and signature deliveries, our drivers will place a call to the phone number you provided for your order, but will not attempt to deliver the package outside the time frame of 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. unless they are able to reach you. You can visit Find a Missing Package That Shows As Delivered for more information. If you checked these places, and you still can't locate your package, please contact us and we'll be happy to look into it for you."

Interesting. I've done volume shipping in the past. It sounds similar to UPS or Parcel post, or signature required. Three attempts and it is returned to sender. Insurance based on the rates a small shipper pays are high profit due to losses compared to money collected. High volume shippers with UPS, where shipping includes $100 worth of insurance, can get an even lower rate if they choose to self insure.
Your, quote check your neighbors, if you can't find it we will look into it for you.
In realspeak, that is you look around. You ask your neighbor if they received something addressed to you. We will stall hoping it will be returned to us. Frustrating as it is, that is normal. If, you receive something mail order than you incorporate into another product. You are only insured for the value of the item not lost production time.
Insurance. There is no shortage of people who receive items and due to error or theft
report claims. Paying for losses. The insurers even if it is the company deliberately make it difficult. I'm sure they know percentage of people that will not bother or follow up.
