Most packages get left on the back porch, which is where the driveway leads to. Sometimes a package will be left on the front porch, as that is the first place you see/pass coming in the driveway. I've had a package sit there for a couple days before I realized it was delivered. Never once has something not been delivered.
Are you ordering stuff that requires someone to be present to receive the package, or why are they just not leaving the package?

Hate to say it, but this really does read like a Boomer rant...

That has never happened to me. They just leave it on the porch for on about their business

I’m not talking about Amazon specifically.

FedEx. UPS. USPS.

And deliveries that require a signature.

Like why the frick does a person have to be at the house at like 2pm on a weekday? You know most people won’t be home. So here’s a stupid little door tag and off to package limbo your box goes.

I ordered an antique oriental rug one time.

They tried to deliver it. I wasn’t home of course. It was supposed to be re attempted the next day. Wasn’t. It sat in the Covington hub center for a week. I finally went to the fedex store and the worker told me “I shouldn’t really do this but here is the phone number for the Covington hub”. Spoke to an actually worker after all of that and you know what he said?
“Oh yeah we were just about to return that package to the sender because ….. it’s been sitting here.”

Like what the frick

“Oops the person wasn’t home guess let’s just send it back”

I do not. I don't want anyone in the garage except me... not my son, not my wife, not anyone but me because things get used and not put back, left out, strung around. An Amazon driver in my garage, no chance.

And man, this post sounds like I'm 80 years old
THIS. I don't want anyone seeing the cool shite I have in my shop except for family and friends. And I am old.

Besides, the shop is 200 feet from the house - they got no bidness back there.

We have a very long driveway, so we have a box out front that opens at the top and the packages fall down to the bottom which is locked.

The drivers used it like half the time. We now have signs instructing people how to use it. Still they won’t drop it in there half the time for some reason.

It’s infuriating.

So you expect them to plan around your schedule that they don't know because you ordered something requiring signature?
Why don't you use the options to have stuff delivered to the closest UPS/fedex/etc store front where you can go pick it up, if it's that important that you want a signature. For stuff like a rug, why did that need a signature?
