Rear door delivery
I am a driver, and I’d like to let you know a few things. First of all, I am one of the drivers that follows instructions, so if you have asked for rear door in the past, I have always abided your ridiculous request because I would get fired otherwise. No other delivery company is required to deliver to the rear or side door, because it is unsafe for everyone involved. I don’t know why amazon finally got rid of it but drivers have been asking for this for years and years. If your front door is a “side door”, it will be delivered there. Now we will just deliver to the most frontward door. If you’re worried about your packages getting stolen, go get your toilet paper at a store like everyone else. We never should have been delivering to your rear door in the first place. Most customers have dogs or bad landscaping that makes rear door delivery dangerous. If you’re on one of our rural routes where the driveway leads to the rear door, the majority of us drivers will still deliver to that rear door. But if you’re living in a suburb or grid system neighborhood, your package will be at the front door. Most drivers aren’t trying to be assholes who can’t follow instructions, but rear door delivery is incredibly unsafe so stop complaining unless your rear door is visible from the street. I will add more to this post if needed. Amazon is a trillion dollar company, so if your package gets stolen or lost, you will always get a refund. I will add more to this post if needed, but otherwise suck it up and you’ll be fine.
