How Does Amazon Garage Delivery Work?

With this service, the delivery driver will unlock your garage door using a scanner, place your delivery inside and send you a notification letting you know you can lock your door. It’s easiest to use Amazon Key In-Garage Delivery with a modern garage door opener with remote controls and added safety features. A solution such as a LiftMaster myQ smart garage door opener from Consolidated Garage Doors makes setting up Amazon garage delivery simple.
