I have had this happen may times before it is quite humorous, but then you start to feel bad for the guy after it happens for several weeks straight.

The later they stay out, the more backed up they are.
Approaching midnight = completely screwed. My guess is the Amazon contract will be shifting to another carrier in the future. |

USPS dropped off an AR barrel for me at 7:30 today. I thought that a bit odd, but 11:00 is really odd.

I got stuck out late one night during the summer due to vehicle issues. Got done at 9. I was waiting for people to release the hounds on me at every house I walked up to.
11 oclock is just insane. I'm required to be off the clock at 14 hours and no more then 70 a week. But I think it's different for usps then fedex/ups due to DOT vehicle restrictions. I haven't been out past 7:30 this holiday season yet. *knocks on wood*

Locally, not sure about elsewhere, FedEx and UPS are refusing Amazon packages. They are several weeks behind.
All amazon parcels go to USPS here so carriers start at 0400 and work till their routes are done, in some cases past midnight. Sure sound like lazy SOBs eh? Contractually they are limited to 12 hours per day/60 hours per week as a full time regular, but this time of year it kinda goes out the window when penalty overtime goes away. |

USPS probably downsized shipping capacity to get costs more inline with revenues. Now with the sharp increase in online orders the only short term recourse is to expand working hours.

Last year I got a camera just short of $1000 stolen off my back porch because while delivery said it would be there before 5pm, it was still "out on the truck" at 10pm when I went to bed because I had to be up at 3am to catch a flight for my vacation the next day. It was "delivered" that night but never seen again. This year I had a $2000 computer delivered with signature required, water cooled gaming tower, big honking box. No door bell, no knock, no call, no note, nothing. Just found it sitting out there with the top of the box OPENED in the dark.

You don't like it but they make the rules this time of the year and you are lucky if it gets to your house and doesn't get stolen so just stay in bed and leave it outside overnight and in the end you may get a refund for the signature service you didn't get. Sounds like a good deal to me. You choose poorly and you pay the price - that's life. |

Went to back out of my driveway last week at 5am. Had a tough time getting out due to a double parked USPS truck in front of my house. I looked around and saw a flashlight and a santa hat walking around across the street. I thought maybe someone was looking for a lost package. Sounds like it was just a normal (for the time of year) Amazon delivery.

I assume they need to head back to reload at the post office since their little truck fills up easily from all the Christmas packages and that slows them down.

I didn't call them up and say I want you to treat me special and only deliver this if I sign for it. They offered that as a service to me on their own accord.

That would be awesome because they sure as hell don't tell you or require a signature like it says the delivery will require.
