Things have always shown up on time, sometimes much earlier than I had
expected. However, I have a Ring doorbell and have to wonder about the
care.  A couple weeks ago I have some underwear delivered and saw te
delivery on video. He came about 3/4 of the way up the sidewalk and
tossed it 10 ft. to the porch.  Luckily is was not breakable.

Last week I ordered a two pack of watch bands for my FitBit watch. I had
ordered them around 9pm  and when was returning to the house at 12:45
the next day there was a delivery at the side of the road and the driver
was walking down our lane. I stopped and asked if that was a package me.
He asked if I lived there and I said yes, and he handed it to  me.  He
never asked my name or asked to see ID. He  just handed it to me. Hell I
might start following these guys and try the same stunt and then take
off before he can get my photo.

My neighbours on both sides get deliveries almost daily. Every once in a

on my door step.

Hell dave, you could just steal that stuff instead of following delivery
drivers around to steal the shit they are delivering!

It doesn't make sense doing all that work when you could just steal your
neighbor's shit.

The only thing better is if you could hatch a scheme to steal one of
your neighbors stuff and blame it on another neighbor. And to top it
off, you could personally make the arrest and help send the poor bastard
to jail.

And the day before he's released, a real nice touch would be to trash
his yard with a dump truck full of garbage.
