I used to live in that area--I'm over in Teele Square now--and there was one incident in which I had a package stolen off my porch (someone obviously needed those silicone pie crust covers more than I did). Given that was once during four years and dozens upon dozens of deliveries, I think it's generally pretty safe to have packages delivered to your front porch.
I tend to be a bit warier around the winter holidays, though--of course, that's when lots of people are having lots of fancy presents shipped to their homes, so the porch thieves really come out then.
