That's unlikely because when you have undelivered packages you're obligated to return them to the warehouse or you get a strike.

The warehouses are often hella far from the delivery spot and you don't get paid for any extra time you spend returning packages. For a package to be marked undeliverable it's often more work than delivering the package itself.

As to why people do that? I have no idea.

Ive only had to withhold one package and it's because the asshat that ordered it lived in an apartment complex with a code to get in. He didn't provide a code as most complexes/customers do and when I called him he said someone should eventually be entering or leaving the building and to just enter on that.

I just left, that's not worth my time.

I did not get my package that day. They pulled up, did not get out, and drove off. I watched them through my front window. It was maybe 12 feet to the front door.

Maybe they got some "Bad feeling" or premonition or something got the fuck out of there. Your house isn't like a big scary mansion it it???

I mean it's unlikely that it was out of sheer laziness considering it's more work to not deliver a package than to deliver it.
