âThe driver will not knock, so make sure you are looking out the window and prepared for the 4 second timeframe when the driver will stand near the truck looking at your property, wherein you may run out and scream âwait!â. If unsuccessful, a delivery will be reattempted on an unspecified date within the next 8 months.â

And then you have some ridiculous retailers that donât allow you to hold a package for pickup anymore. What the hell happened to that? I feel like it used to be when I had a package that needed a signature I could just request for it to be held at the parcel service center for me to pick it up later.
But the last two times I had a package with a signature required, it wouldnât allow me to do that. The package was going to be returned to the sender for ridiculous reasons. One was an age restricted item which I can kind of get, but the other wasnât. Both times I had to beg and plead with the delivery company to hold the parcel even though it was not something they were supposed to do.
And people wonder why Amazon gets so much business. They donât make me take days off from work so I can hopefully receive a fucking package of the delivery person actually feels like ringing my doorbell.
Never again with packages requiring a signature for me. I donât work from home and my workplace is not in a location that can receive packages.

Hah, I had the exact reverse experience. For years when I had a delivery they would come by once (of course not staying nearly long enough to allow me to answer the door) and leave a notice saying the package would be at their warehouse the following day starting at 17:00.
The warehouse was pretty far. The round trip would take nearly 2 hours by bus. And since they opening hours werenât ideal, if I happened to have a class or be otherwise busy the one night of the week theyâre open late, well I guess Iâd better find a solution, because theyâll only keep it for a week.
I would plead with them. Can you come back? Can you leave it at my door? Itâs not even worth that much! Iâll take the risk! No. At least one thing they did agree to do was keep my package a bit longer once when I realized I had absolutely no way of retrieving it in time. But they only gave me two days.
It was only when COVID hit that delivery companies started just leaving packages. Sometimes they just wouldnât tell you at all about it, and youâd have a surprise when youâd open the door and hit your foot on a surprise package, if you hadnât kept up with the tracking.
Some people complained, because they were scared someone would steal their stuff, but I was so glad they were careless. Iâve worked from home ever since COVID.
Finally, I can order a thing and actually receive it at home.
