We were expecting two packages the other day and after receiving an email saying they had been delivered? I searched… but found nothing.
And then I looked out our side window in the den. It faces our neighbors long driveways that lead down to their houses on the water.
.
.
Spotting two boxes and thinking they might be ours, the husband went to check.
.
.
Neither one was…
.
.
They’d just been dumped in the snow by delivery drivers too lazy to drive the distance to our neighbor’s houses.
Do you know what happens to cardboard boxes that are dumped in melting snow? They get wet, and fall apart and provide no protection to the items inside.
.
.
So my husband walked back to get his car, retrieved the soggy packages and delivered them to our neighbors.
Good thing too… because our boxes had been delivered to them by mistake.
Geesh.

River's world.....

Mostly I admire the diligence of delivery drivers. Twice I have received packages destined for the ice cream factory down the street. It seemed pretty obvious they weren’t for me. But just dumped on the corner? That’s beyond the pale.

One of our neighbors said they do it all the time. There’s no line of sight from their mailbox to their house so they never know when things arrive.

Ah, yes. With a closer look I see a mailbox near one of the packages. The one by the bare patch of grass looks pretty forlorn – though if that’s a driveway and not a road, it’s not quite as egregious.

Yes, there’s a mailbox. But if you’re paying for home delivery? It should be delivered to your home, not 1/10th of a mile away.

Care to share who the delivery company was?

Ours, that were delivered to the wrong house, came UPS. I don’t know who dropped those two boxes, I didn’t see the actual delivery.

In this case, a good deed was rewarded instead of punished!
But shame on your neighbors for living so far from the road, expecting overworked, behind schedule delivery workers to actually … deliver something.

What if it was actively snowing, or raining? Items could be ruined.

Exactly! They need to move their houses closer to the road to avoid that!

Yes.
That’s the easiest solution…

We’ve had delivery issues, too. One thing that really annoys me is an Amazon delivery guy puts packages at the door of our casita. He has to walk into our backyard to do that. Our front door is of course where the package should be put.

Amazon has a section to note preferred delivery locations. Can’t remember exactly where… but I know I saw it. Whether your delivery guy pays attention to that, is a whole other issue.

Most packages are at the front door. It feels like an intrusion to have the delivery guy in the backyard. Like he’s casing the place.

That is troubling…

They have to go through two gates on the side of the house into the backyard and leave the package at the casita door. Weird.

That is weird. I wonder if they have specific instructions to do so? If it’s only Amazon I’d check your delivery instructions on the site.

It’s only an occasional Amazon delivery. Like one out of ten.
