Topic: Amazon delivery methods

[eigenvector]

Saw something today that made me go "hmmmm".
 
Guy delivering Amazon boxes from the back of his Focus.  Walk them to the door, drop them off - take a photo of the box on the door step, then off to the next house.

That's kind of risky Amazon

you sure he didnt scan the box's bar code as 'delivered' with his hand-held?

Have you used the lockers yet?

Possible that's what he was doing - but he was standing pretty far back.  Who knows.

Still - a pile of Amazon boxes in the back of a car.  Low rent to say the least.

Amazon does outsource much of its deliveries.
Who knows what type of background checks are done at that level.
The Amazon Locker is great.  Used it many times.

I thought so too.  I used it to have an item delivered in town on the weekend so I could pick it up first thing on Monday morning.

I've had Amazon delivere packages to me by cars with Uber stickers in the window.

UBER delivers all kinds of stuff including packages and take out food.

He took a pic to prove he delivered it since porch package theft is an epidemic.

What you didn't see, was that immediately after he photographed the box on the porch - he stole it.  (Actually so far as I could tell he did no such thing).
