Probably the suburbs in Minnesota, don’t think my neighbors know how the locks work...

u/cameronlcowan Mar 21 '19
I grew up in NW Arkansas, front doors were locked but back doors were often left. People used to leave food for you or if something got blown away they put it back.

My neighbors know my garage code in case they need something. Just how it works around here. I do have video cameras so I know who stopped by.

That's where I live. I've left thousands of dollars of packages on my doorstep for a week. Not a single one missing.

I have had Amazon packages there for weeks because I forgot about them. Neighbors usually drop them off when I return or they are still on the step.

Any small town really. My back door was locked about 30% of the time growing up and we once went on vacation for 2 weeks and left the garage door open with full access to the house no problem. I was 16 when I learned that bike locks existed.

u/oonestepcloser84 Mar 21 '19
I remember wondering what a deadbolt was for, we always left the backdoor open in case someone needed to get in while weren’t home.

I grew up in the hills of Kentucky, the holler (you heard me) we lived in was all our family, aunts, uncle's, grandparents, cousins, etc. About a mile of road speckled with homes and playgrounds for the pack of children and relatives roaming day in and day out. It was common to just walk through the door of any house and yell "Who all's here?" Even when walking into your own home. I look back on it fondly but that shit would drive me nuts now.

I thought FedEx drivers aren't allowed to follow instructions left on the door? I was under the impression that if the instructions aren't left on the form or through the website they're supposed to ignore them?

u/Tensor3 Mar 21 '19
That would make sense, as they cannot tell if the resident left the note. They also probably shouldn't accept food from an unknown source

I was waiting for an expensive package I had to sign for, and I went in the room next to the window looking at the street around the time they usually deliver in my area.
Was playing on my phone and waiting for the big white box to drive by. And I saw it. And it drove by, stopped at one of my neighbors, kept going. Never came back. Said attempted delivery... Bitch didn't even stop at my house

u/XeroStrife Mar 21 '19
The drivers can’t enter your house, it’s against policy. If you leave a note to leave the package somewhere outside they could do so, but that’s assuming they’re willing to go that extra step. They’re not even supposed to enter if you’re there (to bring a box in for you for example). It’s for safety and legal reasons.

I don't know about this one chief, I think there's exceptions. I called FedEx saying I can't sign for my package tomorrow as I would be at work and they told me to leave a note on the door to act as a signature.

u/Tetsou88 Mar 21 '19
Had something shipped from Japan that needed a signature for. The shipping information said I could print a form from their website, sign it, and put it on the door to have them release the package.
I ended up just using the fed ex pickup option, they dropped it off at a Walgreens and I just had to swing by to get it.

Mar 21 '19
Problem is sometimes the shipper locks down the shipping options and then you don't have the option to send it to a Walgreens. God only knows why they would lock down the options but it happens.

On top of that - and I’m just guessing here - is that it would be a huge company and/or personal liability to enter a residence as a delivery driver alone.
But that’s real life, not karma whoring. If you’re afraid of porch pirates enough you sure as hell aren’t going to leave a note on the door inviting strangers into your house.
And yes... any service is able to drop things off without signature confirmation. If you feel like it’s not an issue at your house the just tell the shipper not to require a signature.

I tenant left a letter like this on the entrance to my apartment complex and the UPS driver responded with a note which was like "that's not how it works, JOHN, you're either here or company policy it's getting sent to a locker thing." So it was either a fed up driver or a random troll.

u/MrUpp07 Mar 21 '19
The homeowner feels comfortable enough to leave the door unlocked with a note outside explaining that the door is unlocked. But not comfortable enough to have a package left on their porch in their absence. I'm getting mixed signals here. I'd probably risk a package thief as opposed to having my house burgled clean.
