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!

    If I get a package requiring a signature via UPS, UPS just forces me to go into their store. Like clockwork, the delivery day comes by and at the end of it the status updates to ‘recipient unavailable to sign’ or something to that effect. I check my doorbell camera and no one ever comes to the door let alone rings it. One time I saw the UPS truck stop at my driveway and the status update timestamp was from while it was stopped. It’s pathetic. I’m not even a hard house, literally a suburbs house where the door is like 10ft from the road.

      I’ve had this happen a few times. Contacted FedEx support and was told there was nothing they could do, and I could pick my package up at their warehouse. So frustrating.

        Fed-Ex doesn’t deliver packages. They deliver ransom notes. I’m convinced that Fed-Ex drivers don’t even have package in their trucks. Only ransom notes.

        I feel like it isn’t necessarily the drivers faults. They likely have insane quotas and FedEx needs to just hire more fucking drivers.

      They (all delivery services) just leave it at my door anyway. Even when I know the sender specifically requested a signature delivery.

      Hell, just a couple weeks ago I put a hold on my mail because I knew I was going to get a package while OK vacation. They wrote “hold” on the box and left it at my door anyway. Thankfully it didn’t rain while I was gone.
