Yeah but if it gets lost, they have to replace it, and if they leave it in a terrible place that’s ripe for theft I can claim I never received it. Stealing from multi-million dollar corporations is always morally correct. Plus, I get free shit out of it and they stop doing that pretty quickly

and this is why i infinitely prefer having them just leave the package at whatever store nearby handles packages, it means i can just pop over real quick whenever i have time rather than having to be home to answer the door or, if i had a yard, worry about where the fuck the delivery person kicks it to.
but of course in the us 90% of the time this would mean having to drive half an hour to walmart or whatever, car-dependent suburbs are so nice

I’ve experienced some package fuckery but I never have had someone throw it in my yard or anywhere besides near an obvious entrance.
Just because people post about a weird thing doesn’t mean it will happen to you.

Yeah, I wish more people just shipped with Canada Post. They’ve got secure boxes to leave packages right with your mail (they just leave a key in your regular mail slot so you can open it, then you stick the key in a slot when you’re done). Or if there’s no space for your package, they have post offices all over the country, and you can pick it up from the one closest to you.
They do have overnight shipping, too, though most of the time I’m in no rush and would rather it be shipped efficiently than quickly. Fill that plane and/or truck before you send it to me, that’s cool.

I just get important shit that I’m worried about potentially staying on my porch delivered to my work address. There’s always someone there when a package would be delivered.

It’s why I refuse to order anything from the USA if it’s not shipped via USPS. If it doesn’t transfer to Canada Post so it gets safely delivered to the post office or my community mail box then fuck that shit.
