The package wasn’t at my entrance too, it was just on the sidewalk 😕

Fwiw, this is the only time the UPS driver has left the package in that spot. Normally it’s right next to the front door.

    and this is why i infinitely prefer having them just leave the package at whatever store nearby handles packages, it means i can just pop over real quick whenever i have time rather than having to be home to answer the door or, if i had a yard, worry about where the fuck the delivery person kicks it to.

    but of course in the us 90% of the time this would mean having to drive half an hour to walmart or whatever, car-dependent suburbs are so nice

      It’s why I refuse to order anything from the USA if it’s not shipped via USPS. If it doesn’t transfer to Canada Post so it gets safely delivered to the post office or my community mail box then fuck that shit.

      I’ve experienced some package fuckery but I never have had someone throw it in my yard or anywhere besides near an obvious entrance.

      Just because people post about a weird thing doesn’t mean it will happen to you.

      Yeah but if it gets lost, they have to replace it, and if they leave it in a terrible place that’s ripe for theft I can claim I never received it. Stealing from multi-million dollar corporations is always morally correct. Plus, I get free shit out of it and they stop doing that pretty quickly :)
