They called 2 times in a row. Why wouldn't they leave a message on my answering machine? I went outside to see if there was a package. I didn't think there would be but I am expecting some.

Seriously.
People are out there that can help. Maybe a therapy kitten will do some good.

I am in fact quite easy to please. Don't lie to me and don't sneak behind my back. For some reason, various personalities who demand that I stop screening calls just for them find creating that transparency difficult.

Reports here indicate multiple clustered nuisance calls with useless Caller ID, avoidance of message recording, and calls made to people who are not expecting any parcels. Meantime, cheerleaders for the caller want me to believe that Amazon's couriers are incapable of reading maps, using GPS, finding places or persons for safe delivery, pressing doorbell switches, knocking on doors, or posting delivery attempt notices. In other words, their sheer incompetence somehow justifies causing consignee phones to ring three or five times in a row. I am real hard put to find the "courtesy" in any of these practices.

Thanks so much for the ad hominem attack. You're helping me handily to prove my point.

Seth's claim made no sense to me, either. Ultimately Amazon loses money on needless delivery retries. If they operate like my former employer, they will lean on drivers to get rid of those parcels promptly as well as safely, which means exhausting every practical option before resorting to playing "phone tag".
