I find it irritating that they don’t knock or ring the bell anymore. How much time does that take?
Drivers are still supposed to ring the doorbell or knock. However it does take time to do so and when the driver has a 260 package route, that time adds up. (An average route should be 15 to 20 packages per hour and 8 hours would be 120 to 160 packages in total. 260 package routes are not uncommon even during non-peak times. Peak times run from the beginning of November through mid to late January).
It IS irritating.
Touch of Modern (online store) sells these things that look like a blunt-ended key so you can push say, elevator buttons without using your finger.
Amazon should give their drivers something like this for doorbells.

Me, too! Especially when I am in the house and expecting the package. A doorbell ring would be all I need to retrieve it. Sometimes I am even checking periodically, and voila, there’s a package. But they never rang the doorbell.

99% of the time nobody is home when they deliver, so what’s the point?
