We have some good delivery drivers, but my goodness, some are horrible.
I’ve had a half dozen packages delivered to my “porch or front door”. With pictures of boxes, or packages in a white garbage bag sitting in a pile of snow under my mailbox. 2 feet from where the melt puddle forms.
On Saturday they promised a delivery. They then told me they couldn’t deliver because of severe weather.
The cause? They didn’t want to go up the driveway.
Sunday they delivered up the same driveway with no changes.
I’m sad to say that USPS does a better job of package delivery. Amazon drivers will flat-out lie.
That’s nto to say we don’t have some good ones, Saturday and Sunday drivers are bad, in general.
It isn’t so bad when they put a box in a plastic bag in the snow. But I’ve also seen them put a box in the snow with no protection whatsoever.
since covid delivery is spotty at best.
i moved my package box down to the end of the drive for winter as some drivers will leave packages by the mailbox 200 feet from my house…
post office is the worse.. tracking is a crap shoot
mail comes anytime from 9am to 8pm the next day..
even when package box has a sign on it in summer they will take my package over to my mothers… the dumbing down of America is complete
Part of the problem is the number of packages an Amazon driver has to deliver in a shift. To be honest, they just do not have the time to care. Then there are the “day laborer” drivers for Amazon. If I understand correctly (50% chance I do not) they are paid by the delivered piece. Again, not an incentive to care about customer satisfaction.
But, what are you, the consumer going to do? Complain, gripe, and threaten to go elsewhere, but you end up right back at Amazon because they are the most convenient. And, Amazon knows it.
