And of course you know they’re gonna show up when you’re taking a poop.

Don’t do by boy USPS dirty like that.

“The driver will not knock, so make sure you are looking out the window and prepared for the 4 second timeframe when the driver will stand near the truck looking at your property, wherein you may run out and scream ‘wait!’. If unsuccessful, a delivery will be reattempted on an unspecified date within the next 8 months.”

We appreciate you. Have a nice day.

abobla ,

why is this so accurate? 😭😭😭😭

dingus ,

And then you have some ridiculous retailers that don’t allow you to hold a package for pickup anymore. What the hell happened to that? I feel like it used to be when I had a package that needed a signature I could just request for it to be held at the parcel service center for me to pick it up later.

But the last two times I had a package with a signature required, it wouldn’t allow me to do that. The package was going to be returned to the sender for ridiculous reasons. One was an age restricted item which I can kind of get, but the other wasn’t. Both times I had to beg and plead with the delivery company to hold the parcel even though it was not something they were supposed to do.

And people wonder why Amazon gets so much business. They don’t make me take days off from work so I can hopefully receive a fucking package of the delivery person actually feels like ringing my doorbell.

Never again with packages requiring a signature for me. I don’t work from home and my workplace is not in a location that can receive packages.

Amazon is always telling me my packages will arrive between 8 and 10pm but if it ever actually gets that late, it gets moved to the next day. Do they ever actually deliver that late?

perishthethought ,

Yes. Packages have been delivered that late here (USA).

Gabadabs ,

Probably depends on the delivery service partner. They have slightly different hours from company to company.

_____ ,

I believe it’s because they hope a driver will pick it up for you. Those late night packages are delivered by contractors and they might just not pick yours on a whim probably depending on several factors.

intensely_human ,

100% of my amazon deliveries for the past two years have been at least a day later than promised.

They used to have excellent shipping. Now they just lie about every delivery time.

And009 ,

Amazon prime, we’ve primed you for betrayal

vinayagg ,

I noticed that too. Sometimes the orders are time sensitive (like when I have to fly out of country and need to take the item with me). So I prefer honesty, most of time I will still order anyways because it doesnt matter, when it matters, at least I dont have to return it.

but thats not how amazon is operating.

So I just buy from temu now

MedicPigBabySaver ,

I’m guessing it depends on location activity. Around Boston, MA (U.S.). Amazon delivers 24hrs a day. I’ve had drops during 2 hour blocks after Midnight.

I hope you know how lucky you are

DudeDudenson ,

The Amazon equivalent of my country gives somewhat similar estimates, but they always end up showing up at 22:30 or straight up call me at such hours telling me they’ll come by tomorrow morning

“Your delivery will arrive on a day between a point in time and a different point in time. You better be there when the driver pretends to check if someone’s at home and leaves without ringing anyway - not like you have anything better to do you lazy fuck.”

abbadon420 ,

Next thing, I take the day off to wait for the package (or work from home) and I get a message in the afternoon saying “you weren’t home, your package is delivered at such and such drop off point”… always

Cryophilia ,

The best one is when it just straight up lies and says it was delivered

Matriks404 ,

Can’t you just get a delivery to box-o-mat (or whatever the name of it is in english), or is it just a big delivery?

Viking_Hippie OP ,

Yeah, that’s it: it’s 24 liters of cat litter (it was on special lol), so it’s too big and heavy for those…

IceFoxX ,

Thihi should have gotten a delivery of cat litter today also between 8:00 - 21:00… at 20:00 it was changed for the 31st.

blackn1ght ,

Why does someone need to be home for that? Can’t they leave it outside or around the back somewhere?

Viking_Hippie OP ,

Nah, I live on the third floor of an apartment building.

None of the outdoors is on my property and as such they’re not allowed to leave it there even if I ask them to 😮‍💨

CosmicTurtle0 ,

Okay. Second question: where are you going to keep 24 liters of cat litter? Granted I’m no expert in communist units (and I’m way too fucking tired to look it up) but I imagine that’s a lot, both in terms of volume and weight.

scops ,

Imagine 12 2-liters of soda. It’s a lot.

Viking_Hippie OP ,

I have a small spare room that I use for stuff I don’t know where else to put or that I can’t fit elsewhere. Litter goes in that room lol

blackn1ght ,

Ah right yeah that makes sense

kungen ,

None of the outdoors is on my property and as such they’re not allowed to leave it there even if I ask them to

Is that their explanation, or what you assume? The problem is usually that the seller specifically requested it be signed for. They even have keys to most apartment buildings, so they can even leave it outside your door or the actual building. I’ve had many PostNord home deliveries left outside my building’s door; just need to see that the package allows FlexChange and then request it.

(Or maybe you’re Danish? No idea how they do it there)

meldrik ,

I once worked for them. AMA!

Viking_Hippie OP ,

Were you horribly understaffed and overworked then or did you get out before that started happening?

meldrik ,

It just about started and also the fired most of the veterans as well.

Zelaf ,

Did you drift with the packages?

Anarki_ ,

Their cars are FWD :/

meldrik ,

Yea, on the electric bicycle though :D

Anarki_ ,

Me too, AMA!

@cactus_head@programming.dev avatar

1)How many years did you work there? 2)How old were you when you started? 3)Are there any benefits long term?

Anarki_ ,
  1. About half a year
  2. Early 20’s
  3. Mostly the work life experience, but also the fact that I get to tell people we did, in fact, toss many packages.

PostMord for the win

@dojan@lemmy.world avatar

That’s PostNord for you. Reminder that the CEO earns ~700k a month for doing helpful things like… introducing every other day delivery of post. Hmmm.

victorz ,

Gotta make some changes to maintain that salary though right

victorz ,

Hold up. 700k of what currency?

dojan ,
@dojan@lemmy.world avatar

SEK. I make 38k a month! Thus, she makes about ~18 times more than me and then a nurse’s salary on top of that.

edb_fyr ,

Funnily enough, the CEO of PostNord Denmark also earns ~700k, but DKK, so that is around 1.5 time that, but for running the part of the company with more losses

Source (p. 23)

kungen ,

I don’t think she should be earning so much, but varannandagsutdelning does actually make sense with how few letters get sent (even though I’d also prefer daily delivery). But crazy that stamp prices have also basically doubled.

But just like with so many other public service things and agencies, Sweden is determined to make a paper profit. Vinstkrav. Would be cool if SJ for example was allowed to sell their train tickets for cheaper prices, but nope, they need to make at least 10% profit or something around that.

Wraul ,

Never forget who ruined the beautifully working Swedish postal service. Maud Olofsson screwed us over by taking on one of the worst deals in history. The Danish must have laughed their asses off when they offloaded their failing postal service onto the Swedish people.

dinckelman ,

That’s just the standard here, and it’s infuriating

    I think OP is upset that it says he has to be there when it arrives. Makes me wonder if it’s related to what they ordered, or if there’s been a lot of deliveries stolen from the neighborhood recently.

    Viking_Hippie OP ,

    It’s standard practice unless you pay for a “service” that lets them put it by the curb or your garage or designated package box.

    Since I live in an apartment on the third floor, I usually have packages delivered to a nearby package point, but there was a special on cat litter and the package is too big to fit so I have to be home.

    Which wouldn’t have been a problem if it had shipped yesterday like it was supposed to, thus arriving today where I’m home all day anyway, but I have to leave tomorrow afternoon and won’t be back again within the time window so HOORAY! 😮‍💨

    myplacedk ,

    unless you pay for a “service” that lets them put it by the curb or your garage or designated package box.

    Here it’s cheaper to get it delivered to a pick-up place near my home. I’ll just pick it up on the way home from work, almost as easy as getting stuff from my own mailbox.

    Viking_Hippie OP ,

    Same here, but my package is too big for that to be an option this time, so has to be home delivery this time…
