We get a ring of the doorbell many times, as a matter of fact they did yesterday...it must have been Amazon van and FedEx has rang the bell many times as well...the only issue we have is our contract USPS delivery person at mail station has put our package in others mail boxes, just held on to it for a couple of days instead of using lockers, stuck a pink note in our box saying we need to be there at 12 noon if we want to pick up package....it’s a big issue, not impressed with that at all!

If that happened to me I would leave a note: "delivery person please knock or ring the bell, thank you".

My experience with Amazon for years has been flawless. Not that things don’t ever go wrong, but corrective action or refund is fast and without questions. Returns are easier than brick and mortar retail. Combined with convenience, this is why Amazon has become the biggest company in the world.

I frequently get notices on my phone when a delivery is coming or has been made. What is annoying is when I get a message that a package has been delivered, and I look outside and see nothing! Turns out it has been delivered to the post office for delivery, maybe, after the weekend. It goes to my village mailbox, which is a two mile walk (there and back). I don’t think I should be told it was delivered unless it is at my door. Or I should be told it was delivered to the post office for delivery and will show up in my mailbox by and by. That would be okay. |

However, most delivery people don't knock or ring though. Something like a Ring doorbell is great to have if you have deliveries often. |

I have never had a package delivered by all the major services without my door bell being rung. You might want to turn up your hearing aid.

I worked for UPS for a short time back in the 90s. They had designated areas where it was OK to leave a package on the porch and other areas where it was not allowed.
This was back in the day when a signature was required for every package. But in some areas, they allowed what was called "driver release". In some areas we were instructed to leave the package around the back of the house. In others it was fine to leave it on the front porch. I would suspect that Amazon has a similar policy and that The Villages is considered a very low risk area. I believe that they balance the cost of having drivers work more hours against the occasional theft of a package. If Amazon tracking shows that it a package has been delivered and you don't have it, you need to call and let them know. They're usually pretty good about taking care of these situations.

i've noticed we tend to have the same 3 people who deliver via golf cart. on really hot days i offer them a cold drink to take, sometimes even a $tip, (if the pkg is really large/heavy.) people remember that. each time we get a pkg they ring the bell if we are inside, if outside, we chat a bit & they are on their way. there's a woman who sometimes delivers, i have no idea how she can lift some of these boxes.

Interesting. I've done volume shipping in the past. It sounds similar to UPS or Parcel post, or signature required. Three attempts and it is returned to sender. Insurance based on the rates a small shipper pays are high profit due to losses compared to money collected. High volume shippers with UPS, where shipping includes $100 worth of insurance, can get an even lower rate if they choose to self insure. Your, quote check your neighbors, if you can't find it we will look into it for you. In realspeak, that is you look around. You ask your neighbor if they received something addressed to you. We will stall hoping it will be returned to us. Frustrating as it is, that is normal. If, you receive something mail order than you incorporate into another product. You are only insured for the value of the item not lost production time. Insurance. There is no shortage of people who receive items and due to error or theft report claims. Paying for losses. The insurers even if it is the company deliberately make it difficult. I'm sure they know percentage of people that will not bother or follow up. |
