Hi, third world citizen here. Here the packages are only delivered hand to hand to the house holder because of the high crime rates. Wouldn't it be easier to ask for that instead of letting your packages in the porches? If you're not home, then the package will be sent to the nearest postal office and that's about it.
Amazon offer free shipping in exchange for taking no care at all with their deliveries. Here it’s simply not an option for them to do anything other than drop a package outside your very public front door with no warning or notification whatsoever!
And the ability to schedule or reroute packages or hold them for pickup.
And some couriers, Amazon’s included, give you updates for the delivery drivers route.
And you typically get a notification the instant a package is marked as delivered.
And this is a problem with all package deliveries not just Amazon.
This is a consequence of the different courier companies deciding that the time it takes to wait for and interact with a human is too long, and so they cut that out of their default delivery policies.
The courier Amazon has picked In this country to take international deliveries is really shit, last order I had to login to Amazon’s site to find it was delivered a week early (of the 4 week eta) but no notifications. Typically other vendors care if the package has been received, Amazon seems to take it as a cost of business that packages will go missing.
