That's a bit mild but it's interesting to see that phone addiction doesn't just strike those <50.

I think the people delivering for amazon have to use an app on their own phones and aren't given a barcode scanner. He was probably struggling to scan the packages as delivered and see where his next stop is.

Lately I've noticed when UPS/fedex encounter a front gate even one that isn't locked, they put the package in a plastic bag and tie it to the outside of gate. The result is packages that are practically begging to be stolen

He was looking at his phone because that's what the third party amazon delivery companies use for delivery confirmation (Scan item and GPS snapshot of phone). He's an older guy and you have a pretty long/up hill climb to get to your front door. I'd give this one a pass - that is prob. the most gentle drop that package experienced during it's entire trip. I've seen the inside of an amazon warehouse once last year during a technology event - even during this private event with outsiders in the building the employees were stuffing boxes and tossing them all over the place. Then those speedy conveyer belts sip those things all over the place before they go to loading which they get tossed around again.

Don't get me wrong when drivers chuck LED monitors over a 6' privacy fence there is an issue. But when grandpa tosses your amazon prime package that he got paid $2.50 to deliver over your railing - I don't see an issue with it.

We get Prime packages 3 - 4 times a week. Some get tossed to the porch, some get left in front of the garage, some get left 5' from the front door. If it's not broken, I'm not worried because it was free shipping and I got it same day or next day!

This happened to me once with USPS, there happened to be a hard drive in there that broke because of it. I reported it to USPS and the guy has put down my packages like a baby the past 2 years.

Luckily there was nothing damageable in your package.

Reminds me of an LCD delivery a few years ago, the hand holes on the crappy HP box tore as the delivery guy carried it to my apartment. I was walking out the door at just the right moment and caught my LCD monitor mid air.

He probably shakes up your packages pretty good in the truck where he knows he is not being recorded :)
