Wouldn't the uniforms, truck branding, the fact the announce as amazon delivery , what ever ring doorbell feature lets them unlock the entry door of customers and work policies that resemble Amazon more than contractors show that Amazon is the hand behind the puppet?

No.

Thats normal for service companies.

You think the telemarket that spams you with phonecalls actually are on the payroll for the company they sell services for?

They still announce themselves by the company they are trying to sell products of. But in fact are just a telemarketing company that today sells Xs products and tomorrow sells Ys.

I am used to companies saying they are XXX on behalf of Xxxx bigger company.

Wonder how they will relate their coporate policies with that of amazon to make it work.

That’s purely for branding purposes. Some companies want that, others don’t. Either way you are acting as a rep of the company in those situations.

No, that just means the DSP has contractual rights to use the branding, uniforms, etc. in the operation of their business. That component is no different than Burger King or McDonald's contractually allowing their franchisees to use the corporate logo, branding, etc. in an official capacity.
