Amazon recently delivered two packages to my doorstep in a timely manner, tucking them against my front door under the overhang, which is good. A third package, delivered at a different date, was dropped in the middle of my driveway in front of my doorway but not under the overhang, like a newspaper would be tossed on the driveway, and the one corner flap was slightly pulled up and damaged, not so good. Some delivery driver hired quick for the holidays, no doubt.
I don’t have Amazon prime, so I use the 5 to 8 day free shipping when I make an occassional order. My order a few weeks ago arrived into town by UPS in a couple of days. To insure the order made it to my house in over 5 days, they handed it off to the post office to slow delivery. LOL..
I always have my packages sent to a collection point. That way I don't have to worry about being there to receive them or damage. I pick them up at my convenience.
