Attention Delivery Drivers:

When you deliver a package, ring the damn door bell. Don't just drop
it- or toss it- near the front door and run.

If you don't, it can sit there for hours- or even overnight- offering
up a fat target to porch pirates...or getting soaked in the rain- like
yesterday's delivery by the Amazon van.


While I agree with you, there is a solution. Ring doorbell. You get a
notice even if not home.

That won't help with the package left out in the rain if he isn't at
home. Maybe he could then ring a neighbour to take it in though.

The delivery guy ringing the doorbell won't help either if he isn't at home.

Another option is the Amazon app on a smartphone. I know when my
packages are 10 stops away and can track them from that point on.

Again, doesn't help if you're not home, but you could head home once the
delivery is close.

The most foolproof option might be to use an Amazon locker, assuming
you have them in your area. Safe, secure and dry. You can drop off returns
also. No lines, just put your package in the assigned locker and you're done.

Here's what they look like:
