    Amazon drivers here never even hand you the parcels anymore. They leave it on the doorstep, knock the door and then by the time you’ve gone to the door to collect it, they’re driving off.

    I did once have one not even bother knocking the door and automatically leave the parcel in the bin, even though I was at home and he could have just knocked the door and handed it to me. 🤦

      I’m not sure where you live, but our XYZ (USPS, Amazon, UPS) drivers almost never knock or ring the bell. FedEx is the only one that does, and they don’t come very often. Maybe all the drivers know our house and don’t want to hear the dogs. Honestly it’s appreciated, I don’t care to answer the door without prior notice, doubly so if no one is actually there when I do.

      USPS drivers just want to get done for the day and go home, but Amazon (definitely) and UPS (I think) get docked for taking over X time per delivery. If someone comes to the door to talk to you and ask you something, that could really mess with your times.

      I get Amazon packages daily, and I would say that they never knock (or ring) 100% of the time. If the bell rings, it was probably by accident.

      This applies to packages left in the cold or after 9pm, when someone would be unlikely to collect it until the next morning. And it also applies to food items and liquid chemicals that shouldn’t be frozen or experience excessive heat.

      It got so bad that I’ve basically just set my doorbell camera to alert me when a package is dropped off, but I can only imagine the inconvenience this behaviour causes millions of people very year.
