I recently encountered a silly situation with UPS . They actually stated it was
too cold to deliver.
Yet that same day I traveled, by bus yet, half way across the city , and caught another bus to complete my journey.....and later did the same in reverse. This was mid week , and yes it was cold. So for three days they would not deliver because of the weather.

But Amazon takes the cake for crappy service. Twice last month I had a single CD in a prime delivery envelope just willy nilly tossed on the front step ! Whereas my mailbox is triple size , and could easily accommodate the delivery, and I live in an apartment , ....so anyone could have taken those envelopes. If I hadn't read that "item has been delivered " , well, who knows how long they would have just lay there !!

Just thought I'd share some of my negative experiences with deliveries.

I actually have good UPS service here. Fed-Ex...well, never know. Bought my last AVR, dude rolled up over my lawn and made a big show out of lifting it out. I picked it up with one hand and carried it up the steps. lol. Guy had to be a third of my age.
And always talking on those damn phones. Never understood why someone has to be constantly chattering about nothing all the time.

I've had that "undeliverable" crap with USPS. They just don't want to drive down the driveway in my scary dark woods I guess.
The USPS must be recycling employees like toilet paper. Over the years I usually had one person for years delivering everything. Now I don't know any of them, and "informed delivery" often says by 9 PM! I mean WTF.

This one USPS delivery gal used to roll up with her jams going so loud I could hear them in the house. Like who cares, you know? Same one told me "honey, you wouldn't want my job". sheeeit. Most of these people I think have no work ethic. I was out the house and making a living at 16 and at 19 in the Army, and they're whining about driving around all day making deliveries? Gimme a break, please.

Seems endemic these days. In fact I don't think many have any sort of ethics, let alone a work ethic.

As far as I know, it’s illegal for anything but Postal mail to be put in a postal mail box. I haven’t checked regulations recently, but I know that used to be the case.

Well USPS has a contract with Amazon so I don't know how all that plays out?

Yeah. She should have experienced being a paperboy for the Gary, Indiana Post Tribune in the mid seventies trudging across the tundra, block after block, in -20 degree temperatures in February with more than 2 feet of snow (some of it yellow) when they were 12 years old for $80 a month!

If USPS is delivering it, it’s postal mail. But an Amazon, UPS, DHL, etc. driver is prohibited from using it.

I don't know one from the other. We don't get any vehicles labeled as being "Amazon" and the mail delivery people either rotate constantly or come and go.

One clue though: I have a No Trespassing sign up at my (always open) gate, but I had to add a sign saying "Deliveries welcome at side door" because stuff was being dumped on the ground just inside the gate. Real postal workers, UPS, Fed-Ex ignore "No Trespassing" signs because they know people want their mail and "stuff".

The postal carriers have started leaving letters, etc in the mailbox and bringing packages to the house. Used to be they brought everything.
I asked a carrier why and he said people complain about letters disappearing/blowing away/whatever.
I just said well why not put the letters under the package? But I understood what the reasoning is. Could be because of complaints or just a CYA thing, but I understood.

I get several marked delivery vans in my area. Not every day like the USPS, but often. Sometimes Amazon has unmarked vehicles, but they usually have the logo on the truck. Perhaps because your house is away from the road you don't get to see them. Hard for me to say with any certainty.

Could be, but I've never actually seen any vehicle with Amazon on it in the area. Plus if they come down here they always turn around in the yard. I just don't hear them I guess unless the dog does and starts barking. Stealthy, these people. LOL.

@mandrix, a UPS truck just dropped off my Amazon order of "Pyramid." On the porch.

Go figure.
