I'm supposed to get a package on Saturday, and they sent me this e-mail:

A driver might contact you by text message, chat or call for help delivering your order.

Huh?

Is your address hard to find? Is the item large and might need two people to carry? Just guessing.

Found a similar thread from several weeks ago.

There's nothing at all unusual about my address.

....are you letting strangers handle your package.....???

My place IS hard to find, but they have never called. They just drop the package on my neighbors lawn or something like that. I saw and AMZ guy throwing packages over an 8' fence on my street yesterday. I ain't ordering anything from amz until after xmas.

i got that notice too.

I haven't noticed the notice but boiler plate makes sense.

They use a lot of very casual driver who may have no idea where any given address might be, especially if they're running late and might miss a guaranteed delivery date.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

Yes, and Amazon will just give them an impossible amount of packages and they spend all day into the night trying to keep up.

We got to Amazon packages yesterday from a guy wearing a UPS outfit and driving a personal pickup with an extension off the back filled with packages. He drove back and forth past our house 3 times before he stopped in front and delivered the packages. I had a nice chat with him about how he was "helping out" the drivers who are apparently working until late night. I assumed he is a worker in the local UPS transfer facility, but who knows!

I did get a call after dark from an Amazon driver (in Houston area) because there is a gate allowed by the City that blocks off one of the streets and is not on any map. She was looking for a way to get to the house.

I have used a UPS Store to receive packages for over a decade...just this week I got a call from an Amazon delivery driver who needed help finding it.
