Other delivery services encounter no such problems.<\/p>\n<p>Many times I\u2019ve had to intervene to get in my hands on a package from them.<\/p>\n<p>After a while of this, I became proactive. Whenever I saw through tracking information that this company was involved, I\u2019d call them and have them hold the package at a company facility to which I would drive. I\u2019ve had good luck with that. I think it is because the carrier has to have more accountability when she brings the package to a pickup location (another employee has to receive it). When delivering to a customer, \u201cleaving the package at the door,&#8221; they could scan it and toss it wherever.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder if their scanners tag confirmations with GPS data. It would help ensure against abuse by a driver who was being lazy.<\/p>\n<p>A recent order &#8220;delivered&#8221; by this company, once again, registered as delivered to my front door when no package is in sight. Hopefully it got delivered to an honest neighbor and will find its way to me soon.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A delivery company, whose name I shall not express (ahem), has some lazy, lying, sack-of-shit employees for delivery staff on my route.
