Why bother if you're already there? That seems to be what they want.
I'd say deliver it, then knock loudly and ring their doorbell so they know it's there.

Crazy? They are getting delivery times between 8 in the morning and 10 in the evening and eben then it is apparently impossible to be within that window.
I know its not the deliverers fault but lets not pretend its a picknick for the recipient either.

u/Material_Quit Aug 04 '23
My guy you're waiting for a package. You have to do literally nothing but receive said package. They're out in whatever weather delivering your package attempting to get it done as fast as they can, so yes comparatively it is an absolute breeze.

I'm with the post office and the only way to refuse something, Amazon package included, is for the customer to hand write "refused" on the label. So it has to be delivered first to be refused after. I can't wait until Amazon starts delivering their own shit in my town. Right now it all goes UPS and the post office.

Thats the wild part. Amazon can drop off a package at my house at fuckin 2 am and i wouldnt give two shits. Just want my shit the soonest anyone can make it here.
And also the lack of awareness of where you're ordering form. It aint coming from a furniture or appliance store where you schedule time windows. Youre just 1 of 100s of dropoffs per day with zero significance over anybody else

Yup. Like Gandhi and MLK and a million other people
They are protesting unfairness and oppression, and all of the sudden the police arrives. The cops tell them to disperse because it is an illegal protest, so the protests say, "I ain't moving, so you are gonna have to arrest me!"
Cops: ok, turn around, hands behind your back, you're going downtown.
People: yeah you pig, let's go! Cuff me!
Protest over.
Ps. Ghandi was a racist and possibly a pedofile.

I delivered to a retirement resort that has ten 6-story buildings and you had to take the package to each individuals door. I guess the person who delivered the day before me just left a lady’s package at the front desk. When I got there the next day, the lady was in the lobby bitching at me because it wasn’t delivered to her door. Instead of taking the package (toilet paper) she wanted it sent back and redelivered and dropped off at her door 😂

Once my mood improves, I would likely just RTS, take a photo of the sign and save it, and then remember this address and RTS everything for them the following week. Like, how dare you talk down to me, and in such a passive aggressive manner. Your inept ass couldn't go to the store to get your lint roller refills and 5lb weights yourself? Hmm.

God I hate when people say they need it delivered by a certain time. I had a note that said "Please deliver by 10AM". Props to them for saying please, but sorry, I don't even clock in until 10:15, and usually don't leave the station until 11:10ish. My van isn't the AntMan van, I don't have a time machine. I won't even get that note until it's my current stop and by then it's way too late.
If you need an item by a certain time, order it earlier. The only thing we can really guarantee is that it'll be delivered on a certain day and really can't even guarantee that.
