In case you weren’t sure which box

  Knowing how stupid people can be, the amount of instructions is justified.

    Honestly I fully expect someone to not understand.

    The last place I lived, the owners had set up a delivery box since they’re getting deliveries nearly every day, some of them large.

    It was a nice box, insulated and waterproof, clearly marked as “DELIVERIES”

    They still had drivers dropping things off at the door to their garage, their detached garage, front door, and once back door.

    So they made a sign that had DELIVERIES with an arrow on the opposite side of the driveway, and put logo stickers for every delivery company they could think of on the box itself.

    Still had things dropped off at the door.

    Eventually they put up a gate without a fence across the driveway, painted the bin bright orange, left it next to the gate… And had a couple drivers walk all the way around the gate and down the driveway to the front door. At least until they put up a fence, then they had a few deliveries marked “undeliverable” until they called the companies about it.

    Never underestimate what a delivery driver who is rushed by their company can miss while trying not to get fired for taking too long to deliver something.

    They couldve just put the box under the sign on the left…

      I like the solution in the picture. This way, whether the delivery person looks to the left or right of the road, there is a sign to help guide them. If they focus on the right, they see the box. If they focus on the left, they see the sign telling them to direct their focus on the right.

      If there was instead just the sign/box both on the left as you suggest, a delivery person may focus on the right and miss it completely.

      “I already placed the box before putting up the sign! Duh.”

    Unacceptable. This self-imposed convenience will make up the entirety of my argument for dismantling the postal service in favor of Amazon.

  This post has inspired me

  Imagine if all the boxes on your taxes were physical IRL boxes, and to do your taxes you’d run from one to the other like a big scavenger hunt?

  That would be awesome! I should run for office.

    You put all the money into the boxes that represent the tax brackets. You are timed. It gets recorded and airs on TV, to prove to the IRS that you did your taxes. A second show called Audit! follows up on all the people who got their numbers wrong

  I need this. I have a parcel box at the front of the driveway, yet most delivery drivers miss it and challenge my German Shepherd at the top of the steps instead.
