I've had a similar experience (not as prolific as you though). It's an absolute pain but I now use pick-up lockers/locations for things I'm getting delivered.
If they don't have that delivery option I make sure I'm in for when it's delivered, and if no one buzzes for me but I get a notification it's been delivered/it's past the delivery window I go down straight away to pick it up (I WFH so I realise that's a privilege position to be in).
Or, failing that I'll buy it from the shops and make do with the extra ££ orrrr I just won't order it - which has saved me buying unnecessary crap haha.
Like I said, it's a pain but better than anxiety about whether a package gets stolen and the stress if that happens.
Another option - for important/expensive things do you have any friends/family nearby that live somewhere more secure that can take the delivery for you?

Oh, another thing - I had to report it to the police in order to get a refund and they said that if you write on the delivery notice that they must leave it outside your flat door and not in the hallway, but they ignore that, they're liable for it not being delivered properly. So make sure you write that clearly on the delivery note.

Can you ask your management company to put in CCTV? If everyone, bar one, is affected surely it's a worthwhile investment x
