Anker is back this week with a fresh collection of discounts on both Amazon and on Anker's own website. A highlight this time around is the Eufy Security SmartDrop Package Box, which is down to $199.99 on Amazon, from $399.99.

The SmartDrop Package Box lets you secure your deliveries from thieves and notifies you when a new package has been placed inside. Today's price is a match of the previous all-time low price, which we haven't tracked for a few months now.
Besides the SmartDrop Package Box there are a few other Anker accessories on sale today, both on Amazon and on Anker's website. On the Anker website, you'll find both individual deals on charging accessories as well as a few bundle offers.
Shoppers should note that for both websites, most of the deals below will require you to clip an on-page coupon. On Amazon, you can do this by simply clicking the box near the green text under the price of the accessory, and then you'll see the price at checkout. On Anker, you can hit the "copy code" button then proceed to "buy now" in order to get the discount.

Personally I wouldn't trust anything that's internet-connected from Anker or Eufy again, based on how they effectively lied about their cameras being end-to-end encrypted, and then took steps to cover it up.
Bought a SmartDrop from the Kickstarter. To be honest, it worked really well. Sadly, I had a month of work in another state - the battery died, and there's no way to get back into the unit other than keys or having setup the optional outlet. They really should have made a rubber opening to the USB-C connector of the battery.
Someone (me) lost the keys somewhere in the house. There's no way to get a spare key from Eufy (despite the lock having a reprint number on it), so my only option is to rip into it with a saw. I placed bricks in the bottom of it so someone couldn't take it. It has been sitting at my front door as a relic for a year.
Despite being my fault outside of design flaws, I can't say I recommend at this point.

If you've still not opened it destructively you may want to check out this video ('https://youtu.be/wME4qvu678c') on YouTube by TheLockPickingLawyer. Assuming they're using a similar cylinder in this box that they were using in the Smart Lock it may be really easy to pick with a wave rake.
