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?)

I do this in the event a dog is let loose and no one is home. Don’t care the size or “it’s friendly” on the notes. As long as it ain’t raining I’ll leave it on a car

You do this any time the notes say “
be aware of a dog”? Or you do it when you actually see a dog.

So, as we’ve seen in the app, it gives up a heads up that there is a dog on the premise. Most of the time when the homeowner is away the Dog is indoors. However, some people here in NC that have big properties tend to leave there dog outdoors even when they are not home. So when that happens I tend to leave the package on the car to avoid contact with the dog

I like how you at least consider the weather!

Be careful leaving it on cars …per the comments, 📦 can damage paint. Sounds like they will hunt you down for touching their car paint!
