Various examples are provided related to package delivery receptacles. In one example, a delivery guard includes a depository contained within a front surface, a rear surface, and side surfaces of the delivery guard; a front facing package drop door pivotally attached to the front surface; a package deposit shelf attached to the front facing package drop door at a fixed orientation; a second shelf pivotally attached to the rear surface; and a linkage assembly coupled between the package deposit shelf and the second shelf. Rotation of the front facing package drop door between open and closed positions simultaneously rotates the second shelf via the linkage assembly. The package deposit shelf and the second shelf can rotate downward as the front facing package drop door is closed thereby providing a sloped opening to the depository.
