""The biggest utility of having a doorman is that there's someone to accept the packages," said Andrew Rosenblatt, "
My neighbour, a retired lady, takes care of my deliveries. I've a sticker on my mailbox asking the postman to ring at my neighbour's door for packages that don't fit my mailbox (Mosaic sets ). In return, I empty her mailbox and forward her the mail to her appartment in southern France when she's on a longer vacation. BTW, that's also a privacy issue, seeing whom a person receives mail from.
Doormen (what we call "concierge") are almost non-existent here, even in the most luxurious appartment buildings. The cost would be out of proportion with the benefits, even when the person would also take care of maintainance, repairs, gardening etc. Security is not such a big issue here.
