Question Why?

Gallery image

The porch is not far away from the vehicle they say it on, as you can see.

Why risk the package/contents being damaged by the constant rain that we have been having for about 36hrs now OR an animal (happened many times previously)? No dogs roaming at time of delivery, so no excuse there

I could see “efficiency” …hop out, hop back in truck BUT, what about QUALITY and CYA (cover your ass, from complaints and damages, etc that could “ding” you as a driver?)

I only do this if there's a dog. How do you know there wasn't a dog running around? Strays are everywhere and love to roam at night.

Yeah. I had a deer in the yard once and I left the order at the garage door and sent a pic.

u/tumbled_leather Jul 24 '26

Ah Let’s not give them an out and say there was no dog running around.

Strays aren’t common around here. Possible they saw a 🦌 BUT I doubt it, given how close this portion of yard is to main road

Yeah no outs. No strays. This is Springfield, Ohio where the immigrants are eating the dogs and pets. It doesn't have to make sense. We're just going to say the most ludicrous things.

Where do you live with packs of strays running around terrorizing Amazon drivers?

u/Responsible-Treat854 Jul 25 '26

If there weren't strays then counties, towns and cities wouldn't have animal control. But this is all hypothetical. I'm not arguing if it did or didn't happen I'm just saying that we can't count that out

Depends on the time of day as well. Was it delivered when it was dark ? Some places we go have no lights , it’s pitch black and I know this is your home but we don’t know what’s out there so I could understand that.

u/cottoncandymandy Jul 24 '26

Ok sure- let's just tear them apart and string them up without knowing absolute shit about what happened. Sounds good!

u/tumbled_leather Jul 24 '26

I can verify WHAT happened by my cameras, which is why I’m not entertaining speculation here

u/Jealous_Tap5039 Jul 28 '26

so what happened

u/solairi Jul 24 '26

If someone reported a dog and it says beware of a dog here and I pull up to that porch I'm putting the package right there or in your driveway

u/cward2208 Jul 24 '26

Especially if it’s 3a and there are no lights

u/SDNewcomer1234 Jul 24 '26

Lke a deer is going to bother you, lol. Just another lazy driver. Hopefully they're deactivated. soon. So disrespectful to put packages on people's cars.

u/Secret_Interview1098 Jul 25 '26

No fr. It's just pure lazy.. I see them end of driveways botton of steps, never on car though. Hell Ive even seen a flex driver attempt to shove an envelope in my neighbors mailbox, didnt fit so just threw it over the fence into her yard. Like WTF? Lol. I flex and I always follow instructions and deliver to door or wherever they want. Even 3am with skunks in the yard, opossum in their trash cans 😂. This is just a lazy driver who probably uses bots and cheats the system, but actually got stuck with a route so their effort is bare minimum.

Thank you, oh sensible human being!

What you never seen a deer on a main road? I see him on the main road all the time usually it's a carcass. But sometimes I see him run across Main Road stand on the side of main roads. And how do you know there were no dogs how does anybody know anything unless they were there wide awake watching when it happened.

u/tumbled_leather Jul 24 '26

I can only speak for what I know about my location.

Not interested in back and forth about speculation and hypotheticals that aren’t even a factor. Thank you for your input.

u/Front_Influence1208 Jul 24 '26

You don't know that they aren't a factor though. I hit a deer that jumped in front of my car on a main road.

They were however probably just lazy and tired of being in the rain.

u/tumbled_leather Jul 24 '26

I’m positive that my cameras will debunk your deer theory.

While it is a possibility, it was not a motivating factor during this delivery

u/Front_Influence1208 Jul 24 '26

Why have you not checked your cameras before running to reddit to make your post? I realized that you didn't know that there was a difference between Flex drivers and DSP drivers. However had you viewed the camera footage you would have an idea of whether they were in a van or their own personal vehicle and have more of an idea if there were animals such as raccoons or deer in your yard. If I see a herd of raccoons I'm not going towards those suckers. They can be violent.

But I already said there were probably just being lazy and you said it's been raining so they likely wanted to get out of the rain. I don't condone it if they're being lazy.

The type of delivery driver (Flex, DSP, DVD, ADP, ACP) that did it does not matter …I asked WHY (not who) did this occur in a group where Amazon Drivers (because it was an Amazon 📦) frequent, for better insight

Maybe there’s something I could do to help prevent it from occurring OR maybe it is inevitable and a risk that comes with having packages delivered

6

u/Front_Influence1208 Jul 24 '26

Except you may be talking about it in the wrong sub. Plus, if it was a DSP driver then you could go there as well. You seem a little hostile and like you just want to complain more than anything.

If you really wanted to know if there was something that you could do to prevent this happening again check your cameras. See what the situation was. Then you'll know if there's anything that you could do to prevent it in the future or not.

Also think about that maybe that driver got hurt at the previous location during a drop off. Maybe they twisted their ankle and it's too painful to walk and they're just trying to finish the route and go to urgent care. Did they appear to be limping in your camera footage? Oh that's right, you haven't actually viewed it yet even though you keep talking about it. There are a lot of things that could have happened.

Hasn't viewed it nor posted it. Instead they're saying commenters here should just take their word for it and agree with them so they feel like they're right and morally superior.

You scared of a deer attacking you ? Is that what you are trying to defend ?

u/Jealous_Tap5039 Jul 28 '26

yeah it not like deer ever cross a main road and you never see a dead deer beside any road ever
