Delivery Drivers Patience

[Delta3D]

Has anyone noticed delivery drivers patience severely lacking recently or is it just me?

Last 3 deliveries I've had now between Amazon and Evri, they knock on the door, I get up and start walking towards the door straight away, but by the time it's taken me the 10-15 seconds to get to the front door they're already walking off or have flung it over the fence without a care if it's raining or not?

Minimum wage job working ungodly hours for peanuts. Peeing in a bottle. What kind of service do you expect? These guys most likely have 100+ deliveries a day.

Your first question is spot on tho. It's like the Simpsons episode where homer looks after waste and comes into their house and empties the cat litter.

The parcel was delivered and you have your goods - the guy isn't there to entertain your loneliness and offer small talk or white glove it into your hand..

It's not like you get a choice of who delivers your stuff 95% of the time. It shouldn't be expected that if I don't get to the door in under 5 seconds my stuff either gets returned or left out to get soaked/damaged in the rain if I'm not home.

If they don't like to deliver stuff then find another job surely, there's tons of jobs around me requiring no experience.. Royal Mail, DPD and Parcelforce seem to manage no problem.

There are plenty of minimum wage people out there that don't make it other peoples problems.

Then order it for delivery when you are at home...........

Royal Mail, DPS and Parcelforce are no different. It is just in your head.

If you read my original post you'd realise I am at home, you're not understanding the point I made.

Also, what are you meant to do if a delivery is delayed?
