And then you have some ridiculous retailers that don't 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 wouldn't 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 wasn't. 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 don't 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 don't work from home and my workplace is not in a location that can receive packages.

We appreciate you. Have a nice day.

why is this so accurate? 😭😭😭😭

Hold up. 700k of what currency?

Never forget who ruined the beautifully working Swedish postal service. Maud Olofsson screwed us over by taking on one of the worst deals in history. The Danish must have laughed their asses off when they offloaded their failing postal service onto the Swedish people.

Next thing, I take the day off to wait for the package (or work from home) and I get a message in the afternoon saying "you weren't home, your package is delivered at such and such drop off point"... always

Don't do by boy USPS dirty like that.

100% of my amazon deliveries for the past two years have been at least a day later than promised.

They used to have excellent shipping. Now they just lie about every delivery time.

I'm guessing it depends on location activity. Around Boston, MA (U.S.). Amazon delivers 24hrs a day. I've had drops during 2 hour blocks after Midnight.

I believe it's because they hope a driver will pick it up for you. Those late night packages are delivered by contractors and they might just not pick yours on a whim probably depending on several factors.

Yes. Packages have been delivered that late here (USA).

15 minute call? That's one long conversation beforehand.

Either that or they show up right as you sit down to take a shit, or while you're in the middle of your shower

Or you get a message at 3 am the next day, where they apologize that they didn't made it, but that they will deliver sometime between 8 and 22 that day.

There is an old anecdote about this kind of situation; Postman (P), Recipient (R):

R: what are you doing? P: I left a notice that I tried delivering a package and you weren't home. R: But I clearly was! P: R: <bashes postman's face in> P: WTF, MAN!? R: It wasn't me, I wasn't home.

Were you horribly understaffed and overworked then or did you get out before that started happening?

Did you drift with the packages?

Me too, AMA!

What?? No nap time delivery blackout window? That's the most un-Spanish thing ever!
