From the professionals at Amazon, eh?

Note that for his "proof of delivery" he took a still image of the package AFTER it landed, not a video of it flying through the air then crashing at the foot of the porch....:confused:

I think I'd take the time to report it and show the video to amazon.

Are they supposed to drive into your driveway?

I would think they'd be exposed to more liability doing so....kids, dogs, etc.
It's my parents' house....I happen to be up here in Atlanta for the holiday week and was doing another cam install for Dad. That's his conduit being delivered for an underground Cat6 run. But, it's odd they drive up the U-shaped driveway in front of the house. Most of the time they walk up the driveway from the street but as you can see, I had a lazy delivery person to begin with.

Mine should, otherwise they have a 2/3 of a mile hike round trip to get back to their van, which is now parked, blocking one lane of a very narrow, heavily traveled 2 lane state highway...
But, that could explain why i have found packages sitting half on the state highway, half off, like they threw the door open and shoved them out while moving, I have had expensive shadow boxes left in the rain with no protection, under a tree in the middle of one of my fields, I have had them stuck on a rock in the middle of a dirt pile while I was doing excavation, I have had them precariously balanced on top of the mailbox, with no outer wrapper on it, with the box graphics showing exactly what it was in it (package from Andy) constantly delivered to the wrong house and some never did materialize, after they say they delivered them and showed a house that I have no idea where it might be in our county.

Looking at the video again. He must be really good at cornhole .
I know I need an updated dictionary, as "cornhole" meant something entirely different when I was coming up. But then again, so did "gay", "hummer" and "queer". There's probably a few more but I've been experiencing more and more RAM errors as time passes....:lmao:

Our mailman and 1 of the FedEx drives is like that. They'll either leave it on the steps to the porch, rather than climb 3 steps, or they'll pitch it from those same steps.
The mailman is a really nice guy, but just lazy. He also happens to be the union rep, so... yeah.
