Awesome! I think the landing page could do a slightly better job at explaining the problem Luna solves.

"Delivering your packages when you're home for the night" sounds nice, but why would I want my packages delivered at night?

I looked at the blog and it perfectly explained the problem: "How many times have you anxiously awaited a package only to come home and find that dreaded little slip hanging from your front door?"

Why not put that on the landing page?

Thanks for the feedback, Raphie

I'd also note that it saves you from those dreaded days when a new iPhone or similarly expensive device is going to be left sitting on your doorstep while you're at work...

This. This is the biggest issue in my mind. I would most definitely pay $7 to make sure they don't just leave my $700 new tech on my front step in full view exposed to the elements.

UPS/Fedex take all the risk when they do that. The driver is taking the chance in order to clear his truck. Unless you authorize it with a signed note, they should not do that. They don't do it in SF or NYC since your doorstep is the street.

Is this true even for packages where the sender specified no signature was required?

Yes, you should have the seller file an insurance claim if it goes missing.

Sadly, I've had plenty of items left at my doorstep even when a signature was required. (in NY)

We've heard (and experienced) way too many horror stories of packages stolen off NYC doorsteps. Check out Parcel: http://fromparcel.com.
