Most Amazon Prime subscribers say they don’t want to buy the Amazon Key that lets delivery people into their homes

Next week, Amazon will start delivering packages straight into Americans’ homes, using a smart lock and camera device called Amazon Key.

But will anyone bother paying for what seems like an invasive service?

Most wouldn’t. About 58 percent of people who have Amazon Prime definitely would not buy Amazon Key, according to a SurveyMonkey poll done on behalf of Recode.

That’s only slightly less than the 61 percent of all U.S. adults who wouldn’t buy the product, suggesting it’s broadly unattractive, regardless of whether people are Amazon customers.

Among Prime subscribers, only 5 percent said they would definitely buy Amazon Key. Of all U.S. shoppers, even less — 4 percent — said they would. Nearly 60 percent of the respondents have Prime subscriptions.

Those who would buy the product cited the convenience and novelty of the device, even calling it “genius.” Those who would not often mentioned privacy and security concerns.

Of course, Amazon Key is very recent and new concepts are often met with apprehension. Not too long ago, the idea of sharing your home with strangers through Airbnb was unpalatable to many, but it’s now commonplace.

The survey was conducted from Oct. 30 to Nov. 2, 2017, and included a nationally representative sample of 7,566 adults. The survey included a description of Amazon Key for those who might not be familiar.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
