just not like that here. Perhaps it is the pool that the guys are drawn from:
our delivery guys are terrific.
Let me give you an example: on Christmas eve, after the post office closes, the postmistress and cohort deliver any and all of the packages that have not been picked up that day, to each of the homes in town.
the UPS guy looks for me, catches up on family, knows all of our family and the dog. the one time they coulnt make it down the driveway because of ice, they bagged our packages in plastic and hung them high on a bush so we could find them when we came down the drive way.
The Fedex guys are fast, on time and polite. All packages are delivered to inside the garage, and they put them in the house when I am home.
Thats nice. However, it is not the experience with many and Amazon got tired of the same drivers screwing the same customers over and over with no accountability. Sure, UPS or FedEx might eventually pay up for the package, but they wont fire the guy causing the damage. Amazon would have to ship a replacement at their own expense, then if the driver screws that one up, another and perhaps another, etc.
