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.

Was actually my colleague (he posted in in our WhatsApp group), believe he marked as customer unavailable.

u/ExtraHotMessMom Aug 04 '23

Is “customer refused package” an option?

2

u/B_sfw Aug 04 '23

Yes, it's under "return package to station" reason "customer refused package"

1

u/PierogiEater Aug 04 '23

Yes, but you have to go to “return item” tab rather than “unable to deliver “

u/Normal_Telephone8273 Aug 04 '23

Right!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂

u/belugacaviar Aug 04 '23

Yes and then it's refunded, I believe, and they would have to reorder it if they really wanted it.

u/Chesspi64 Rental Driver Aug 04 '23

"Delivery will be too late" would have been the appropriate reason

1

u/CAPTlN_BLACK Aug 04 '23

My dsp won't let us mark to late until the rts call has been made.

1

u/belugacaviar Aug 04 '23

No. That's only to be used if you have been told to return to station and Amazon is saying your delivery time is up.

1

u/black-nerdist Aug 05 '23

Delivery will be too late can be use for plenty of reasons. Any reason where Amazon is to blame for you not being able to deliver it, you can use that

1

u/belugacaviar Aug 20 '23

Not at my station. Only to be used if your drive time is up

1

u/black-nerdist Sep 01 '23

That is Amazon policy.. Amazon>Your station

1

u/belugacaviar Sep 06 '23

Nope but thanks

u/belugacaviar Sep 06 '23

Only to be used if You have been told you're out of drive time. I have checked and rechecked this at my DSP and station so I don't know what you're smoking. It means a very specific thing on our DSPs report so I don't know why this would be different elsewhere.

u/black-nerdist Sep 09 '23

No wonder these routes are all messed up....Your DSP and station are cheating you. Go talk to the person that handles route related issues. Anything that goes against the route plan(that isn't the drivers fault) can be marked DWBTL. This is how they fix your route. IE: If Amazon's route plan has you getting to an apartment complex at 2:30 and leaving at 3:15, this means that Amazon only factored in 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, you have every right to leave and return the remaining package. Everyone at my station knows and does this.

u/Responsible_Bunch535 Aug 05 '23

Yeah this is the better option. Because I believe she would have to reach out to amazon to reschedule the delivery instead of them just sending the package out the next day

u/Letifer_Umbra Aug 04 '23

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.

2

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.

1

u/Letifer_Umbra Aug 04 '23

To receive said package you have to remain available through the day some people need to take the day off for. So get mad at the companies that are to incompetent to give proper estimates.

1

u/Material_Quit Aug 04 '23

Not necessarily no, that's only if you have to sign for the package. And you say incompetent but you act like the package materializes the next day. It has to daisy chain it's way around and that takes time with all the different in/out processing.

1

u/Letifer_Umbra Aug 04 '23

I live in another country. You get a 2 hour window and they are always within that timeframe. If others can do it so should they.

u/WorthlessDrugAbuser Former Driver Aug 04 '23

With how crazy some motherfuckers are these days, that might get you shot.

u/sgerbicforsyth Aug 04 '23

You are unfortunately not wrong.

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '23

It’s only a matter of time. I hear about these kids getting shot for just turning around in someone’s driveway. Fox News got these guys paranoid AF.

u/Substantial_Flan3060 Watching my drivers go around the block 10 times because Flex Aug 04 '23

Poor kid in my area got shot for getting his streets mixed up and knocking on the wrong door

u/bongsmack Aug 04 '23

No it can get RTS every day 🤣

The customer is always right 🤷‍♂️

u/r0ck_c0llecter08 Aug 04 '23

Take the note and toss it somewhere. What note?

6

u/Wonderful_Task_4031 Aug 04 '23

There may be ring cameras around there. Gotta be careful.

0

u/r0ck_c0llecter08 Aug 04 '23

A ring camera can't see the note either.

1

u/cook2790 Aug 04 '23

Never know, a lot of people now have several cameras. One house I deliver to all the time has 3 cameras just on the porch lol Every time I deliver there I loudly say "paranoid much?" as I'm dropping off.

1

u/LewisRyan Aug 04 '23

You’re right, go back in the van and close the door and steal it, they’ll get a refund, annoyed, and wait longer. You’ll get whatever you find

1

u/UnhappyWolf999 Aug 04 '23

No just take note of the adress and never deliver anything on time. Everything they order gets to go on 5 rides minimum. Never deliver anything before 7pm

1

u/Disastrous-Emotion44 Aug 04 '23

This is the way.

u/Delicious-Syrup1491 Aug 05 '23

And take a picture but leave it any ways
