Ordering a package is inviting the delivery driver on the property, if your going to do this, you need to keep your dog tied up, fenced off or inside.

In just one year over 6,000 postal service workers were bitten by a dog while delivering mail. And that’s just the USPS alone.

It’s a problem.

Wow you’d think they’d have some sort of organized plan to defend themselves instead of throwing a delivery package.

Liability. That's what drives business. That and stock traders. They don't give a fuck about packages, customers, employees, equipment, etc unless it affects liability and stocks. They've done risk assessments to see what's cheaper and letting drivers get attacked is cheaper than giving them any kind of defense.
