    I handle my packages with rubber gloves and let them sit for three days before opening them. If it’s something I need before the 3 days are up, I wipe the stuff with Clorox wipes.

    No, it's very dangerous. You need to make sure your Norton Antivirus is screening against coronavirus too.

    Provided you have the goods delivered at a safe distance from your front door - my deliveries tend to ring the bell and stand back to make sure we are in and can pick up after they have left.   They do the 'paperwork'.   Then, using gloves, we take the outer wrapper off and bin it, wash hands and then bring the goods indoors and again wash hands.  Any germs shouldn't stay on the goods for long. 

    Wash hands, and don't touch face.

    Safest way, but any item can be contaminated.

    Mog's  answer is similar to  what I do, but I spray with sanitisers.

    It is if you maintain social distancing when it is delivered and if you pay or tip the delivery person that you do it with social distancing. Also if things are washable to clean them but some things are made worse by attempts to wash them so you must know which ones you can wash.

    Safer than going into a shop or supermarket
