It's probably at the discretion of the driver. Depending where they are on my street, I see all 3 in play. The houses on either end of the curve, they will always pull in the driveways (both are extra wide because neighbors have connecting driveways). If there is no one parked int he street, they make an effort to get as close to the curb as possible without touching grass. If a car is in front of the house, they will just park their shite in the middle of the street.

The problem we run into in my neighborhood is that there is a single entrance/exit (two one-way roads with a median) and the Amazon drivers will stop in the middle of the entrance road, at multiple houses in a row. The road is only one lane but it’s wide enough to get around them if they stop literally anywhere other than dead center. I saw one of them get into it with someone driving home from work one evening after they tooted the horn when the Amazon driver made like the 3rd consecutive stop in the middle of the road over a span of ~150 feet.

UPS, FedEx, and USPS are never a problem (despite the first two driving generally wider vehicles than the Amazon vans) but for some reason the Amazon drivers don’t seem to get it. I get the feeling they are under a pretty significant time crunch on these routes, based on numerous videos of drivers running to a door and throwing packages at the porch.
