If you have the porch space, build or buy a big sturdy wood box. Add a hasp and combination lock. Leave directions on it, something like "Please put deliveries in this box and lock it."
Sometimes you'll get two packages from different companies, and one will end up either hidden behind the box or redelivered the next day.
Another thing which works is to talk to the other people in the house (if it's apartments) and agree that you'll accept each other's packages. Then put a sign on the door saying "Deliveries: please ring all bells."
