    My delivery instruction is “ring the doorbell” (so I know to come downstairs and grab it off the major street before it’s stolen)

    Yes, my post was a trap for people like you.

      Maybe you should try altering it to say “Please, ring my doorbell so I know to come downstairs and grab it before it’s stolen.”

      The delivery app that drivers use often simply says “ring the doorbell” as a default but then also in the same area says “no need to knock / ring bell” so being more explicit in your instructions may improve your results.
