I think we agree so I don't understand why these details matter. I don't get to choose who carries the package.

If I ask for it to be delivered to a locker then it is delivered to a locker. I don't know and I don't care who carries the package, all I know is I will be able to pick it up from the locker.

If I ask for it to be delivered to my house then it will either be dropped at my door or will show up in the postal station. I don't know which will happen and I have no control over which will happen - it will be a surprise to me.

*IF* I could specify the method of shipping then maybe I would demand Amazon delivery so it shows up at my door. However, that is not something I can specify, all I can say is "locker" or "house" where:
locker -> locker (and I don't know how it gets there)
house -> front door OR postal station (and I don't have any control over which)

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
