i did not ask for this!! don’t pay extra for it and act like you’re somehow doing me a fucking favor because now i have to take the day off and practically sit by the fucking door listening for the guy to knock – cannot fully engage in an activity, wear headphones, shower, etc etc etc.
again, I didn’t ask for this!!
these days it’s really obnoxious because now it seems like you can’t even turn it off? like 10 years ago maybe you could sign into the site and say ‘actually please leave at the door’. now it’s fucking LOCKED ON. ABSOLUTELY OBNOXIOUS. SHIT!
seriously, i just spent half a fucking hour of my life getting bounced around by the shitty phone support which is complete ass, the the shitty website support which is complete ass, and the the shitty shitty shitty shitty fucking garbage fucking virtual chat support which is complete ass, and have gotten absolutely fucking nowhere, and apparently i am honor bound to fucking sit here by the door WASTING the fucking day waiting for this fucking guy to come at some magic unknown time. FUCK this DRIVES ME INSANE
Respectfully, it may be time for you to invest in a doorbell.
Lol
I mean, on the assumption that it’s not high value or urgent, and you really value your time - why not just let the delivery fail and pick it up at your convenience a day later at their depot?
Obviously if you’re out in the sticks and the depot is 30+ miles away then it’s not feasible but hey, your day is your own again.
there’s many stores that are happy to hold on to packages on behalf of the intended recipient for several days, such as UPS-partnered locations.
Give the gadgets store down the street a call and ask them if they’d be willing to receive and sign for your package.
This is honestly my question
Let me guess, FedEx?
Don’t know where you are but the big delivery companies in the US usually let you pre-sign for most things in their app.
