“They just leave it at the door”.
Fucking EXACTLY. They’ve started copying bloody American delivery idiots and started dumping parcels outside the house in plain view of the street (what’s to stop someone from stealing it, or the rain from destroying it?!).
Absolutely infuriating! Imagine a parcel travelling hundreds, sometimes thousands of miles through a complex logistics network to get all the way to my door…
… And then instead of delivering it (it must be put through the letterbox or handed to a resident, as has always been the case for any delivery here), they just say “fuck it I’ll just dump it”, and they fuck off. Often they don’t even bother knocking or waiting 30 seconds for someone to come to the door at all, even for the elderly.
Naturally they don’t even close the garden gate behind them either. Utter disrespect for everyone and everything.
Oh, and that’s all IF they even get the right house! Nevermind that the address is clearly printed on the package, and clearly shown on the house. They like to not only deliver to the wrong house, but THROW the parcel into a complete stranger’s BACK GARDEN over a tall fence, and then have the nerve to take a photo of it as “proof of delivery”! The cheek!
Absolute cunts this new generation of delivery people, no basic respect, not doing the job properly at all, half the time the parcel never even arrives (and yet they’ll say they attempted delivery - no you didn’t, I was watching the garden the whole morning).
I fucking hate them with a passion.
Any new delivery company that is founded with the motto “we deliver parcels like it’s 2005” is going to be hugely successful, because we’re all sick of the current useless American-style lot we have now. Even Royal Mail’s gone to shit the same way these days, and they were the last bastion of proper delivery people.
Don’t be mad at the individual. Be mad at the company. That person you are complaining about has been given a quota to keep their job.
In the US, you are sometimes given the option to opt-in to a handoff, especially if the package is valuable. Delivery engines like Amazon typically don’t do this because of how incredibly strict delivery quotas are, but I know at least UPS and USPS allow it.
Of course, UPS and USPS drivers also have qoutas, so if you don’t get to the door I within a minute, they take the package back and try to deliver it the next day.
I think what you’re experiencing is more just a consequence of increased package delivery use rather than anything inherently to do with Americans(unless you consider getting packages delivered a uniquely American characteristic).
This is some weapons grade autism and exaggeration.
Edit: fuck, checked the sub lololol, yup
You’re being downvoted for being right.
my neighbor and I bring up each others packages. whenever they get ours I bring it to my wife saying. “Neighbor fairies!”
Did somebody say package?
:3
🍆

Amazon gives us letters when it’s delayed and it’s like the worse because I hate waiting extra days
This but waiting mode instead.
Whenever I get the notification that the package is in route to my house I literally can’t stand still. It’s a curse.
Again… This is more an ADHD thing than an autism thing.
Is it? With many of LadyButterflies posts I agree. But the executive dysfunction on pending tasks is unreal and I am Autist, I don’t have adhd.
(honestly curious since I only know one side)
