I had similar with Hermes/EVRI, they were so bad and just refused to do the most basic things. Visible doorbell? Nope! Gonna ignore it, pretend you aren't in and won't even deliver the parcel to a neighbour, just take it with them. They're making more work for themselves.

What i don’t get is that amazon deliveries have a date they tell me. I usually don’t need it right now so whatever, i just need to be able to intercept it sometime that day. It will flag as being delivered. But its not out side “oh sometimes they will mark a package as delivered but it will take up to 48 hours to arrive” ok, i get that traffic, and overburdening the driver’s is a constant. But fuck, don’t mark it as here. And i am talking to amazon. They know it’s a problem, just let me know there is a delay, so i don’t go rummaging through my bushes, or canvassing my neighbors!

Lmao, this still ain’t gonna work. I swear it’s like they can’t read or see the world around them.

You can just let the free market solve this problem for you. It doesn't happen often, but it's actually true here.

It's super fucking easy too: place the burden of delivery on the seller/shipper, and presto, suddenly paying a little more for non-shit delivery becomes worth it. Or they keep trying till they get it right.

...and you're suggesting to implement that... how?

That would require making and enforcing laws.

If they're leaving a door tag, it means a signature is required. There's three flavors of signature: you specifically, someone 21 or older at the same address, or anyone with a pulse standing near your door.

Making two trips to deliver a package means they made no money on that delivery.
