The photo that UPS provided to prove that they delivered my package. I mean, sure, it’s my front porch, but they could have included the package.

Based on the number of photos people post on Nextdoor of their package at a totally different house, I'm not sure why these companies bother. Maybe they could train drivers to actually use their brains to see if they're at the right place first.

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago (5 children)

They'd need to allow drivers to take enough time to appropriately do the job, so that's never going to happen.

When you have to make as many deliveries in an hour to require breaking the sound barrier during your shift, you don't have time to check house numbers.

Looks about right.

For a while Google had the roadmaps to the property right but not Apple. Using your eyes it was easy. Following the app blindly, not so much.

Found a box at the back of the property clearly tossed over the back fence, no where even visible from the house. Compliments of UPS.

Sounds like an easy claim that they didn't deliver the package.

[–] Mereo@lemmy.ca 84 points 1 year ago

Yup. It is an official proof that the package wasn't delivered.

Guy doubled as a porch thief? But it's hilarious must been new at the job. Didn't even know UPS did that thought only Amazon did?

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

I bet their phone was too slow and took the picture a half second after the driver hit the button, while they were turning away from the porch.

[–] DoomBot5@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They all do it now (except USPS?)

[–] 0110010001100010@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

It's really hit and miss though, at least where I am. Amazon does it probably 75% of the time. UPS and FedEx are both maybe like 30% of the time. I don't know if the shipper has to flag the package to have a picture taken or the drivers just don't give a fuck most of the time.
