      My instructions were “On the porch or under the shelter by the bins”

        when the company as allocated at most 5 seconds per delivery and you’ve already spent 3, reading instructions is not going to happen. Gotta go fast

          Yep, this is the essence of it.

          Also keep in mind the quality massively depending on how “close” to the actual amazon delivery you are, company-wise. Is it an amazon driver doing your delivery? A contractor? That contractor’s subcontractor? I think DHL once used 5 levels of subcontractors?

          At some point, so much money has been skimmed off by so many managers that the driver is losing money by breathing between actions.

          Maybe I need to erase the word “bin” from all delivery instructions. Too suggestive perhaps

      Where I live Amazon has started a new thing where expensive items have a one time password needed at the time of delivery. So basically unless you are available at the exact right moment and the delivery driver isn’t an idiot, you are going to have issues. I live in a building with a concierge which you’d think would be helpful, but they actually seem to try actively to be unhelpful.

          I hope not. It does seem though that Amazon makes really stupid decisions and then sticks with them. Another example, at my local whole foods you used to be able to walk in, hand a return to a worker who would scan your QR code and you’d usually be on your way in 30 seconds.

          They replaced that process with a stupid machine that is hard to use, fails often, and requires a worker’s intervention anyhow. It went from 1-2 minutes total to do a return to possibly 20 minutes because it’s so slow a line can form. They’ve stuck with that for the last 6 months, and it doesn’t seem like they’re hearing feedback from their workers. I have to believe the workers must have complained a lot since it’s god-awful.
