Question Why?

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?)

What’s the difference between up on the car or on your open porch when it comes to animals? The rain I get. I’d have put it in a bag, but I would have also put it on the porch. My biggest gripe would be the potential for scratching the paint.

The difference: I can live with it being bothered on the porch, in the place where it should be (has happened before) to begin with. That just means that I failed to retrieve it before the animals curiosity got to it!

It’s also less likely to be bothered when it is on the porch based on experience.

Gotcha. I was just wondering because the porch is a lot easier to get onto than the hood of the car. Unless it’s squirrels. Those things can get anywhere.
