    If true, that’s nuts!

    One can easily place a sign on their door that says “don’t knock/ring” of that’s an issue, but the default is to let someone know that their expensive/perishable/likely to be stolen/much needed package is at the front door!

      Yes you are correct if it’s a computer the ship them in OEM box so we knock for those but if it’s a normal Amazon box it gets left it is what it is I wish things where different but that is Amazon for you.

        Maybe our drivers aren’t as “common sense” as you. Most of them just look like Uber drivers making deliveries in their personal vehicles, so as long as they snap a photo of the delivered box, the job is done.

        But I’ve had quite a few high-value ($300+) items ship in clearly identifiable boxes, and I get no ring or knock.

          That’s because the are most likely flex drivers i work for a DSP inside a Amazon warehouse the are more strict and enforce rules for self employed contractors this is just not possible the should get rid of flex that’s my opinion.

            flex drivers

            I’m not sure what that is, but there seems to be no consistency with deliveries. Some are in regular cars, some are in larger rental vans, others are from Canada Post, and some are from UPS.

            I’ve even had a few deliveries where I could see, on a map, where the driver was. That only happened a few times, but it was pretty cool.
