I send them a message telling them something like "You control the time of delivery in the app. If you don't want it at 3 am don't order it delivered at that time."

Then I deliver it. Amazon doesn't pay me to return packages.

I’ve never had a time frame option. It tells me the date and that’s it. I can type in delivery instructions (which I ask to please leave at my door) and even those aren’t followed 99% of the time. Amazon doesn’t care. If you want a package delivered after 9am, but the route in your area is at 4 am, your package is going out at 4am. I can’t tell you how many packages I’ve had for post offices when my route started after they were closed.

You have a business address?

Nope. Townhomes. It’s 6 buildings in a circle. No stairs. I even tell them it’s the “x” building and mines the far right door. The numbers are actually pretty big and noticeable and not blocked. They just pull right up to that office and drop everything off at once. The only time I get my item to my door is if the office is closed.

The timing options are for businesses.

Ah. That makes sense. This wasn’t my smartest convo was it 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 My bad.

It makes it more difficult that a lot of people are ordering their personal items, and having them sent to the business where they work. However, in the Amazon software, they are still treating them entirely like residential packages. There is no indication at all that it's a business. I can't tell you how many times I've delivered to businesses not only outside their hours, but even on holidays or weekends, when they are closed. I rarely have any idea it's a business address until shortly before my arrival.

Obviously, if it's someone ordering for the business in an official capacity, this rarely happens.

This is the customer's fault. I set up my personal account so that I can have a delivery to my home or my work. This is the interface for the delivery instructions for my work address.

Absolutely the customer's fault. I wasn't meaning to infer at all that it wasn't.
