It would seem that if this becomes a trend that delivery companies would need and be in their right to assess a charge to any packages destined for certain residential addresses (they already do charge more at least at retail for residential deliveries) in order to compensate the buildings for the added labor needed to handle the packages. While it's reasonable to expect some package deliveries, it's not reasonable for a building to have to handle the volume that this article claims are currently delivered.
Likewise the person placing the order shouldn't balk to much at having to pay a $1 to $2 charge for having their packages handled (per package) despite what rent they are paying except in the cases of true luxury buildings.

How much are the fully loaded benefits for a full time mailroom/receiving employee at $15/hour? Seems reasonable for a complex over a certain size.
"Each package results in about 10 minutes of lost productivity, Camden executives estimated."
I'm gonna have to take that estimate with a grain of salt.
