The picture isn't even of my yard - Lemmy.World

The package wasn’t at my entrance too, it was just on the sidewalk 😕

and this is why i infinitely prefer having them just leave the package at whatever store nearby handles packages, it means i can just pop over real quick whenever i have time rather than having to be home to answer the door or, if i had a yard, worry about where the fuck the delivery person kicks it to.

but of course in the us 90% of the time this would mean having to drive half an hour to walmart or whatever, car-dependent suburbs are so nice

Yeah, I wish more people just shipped with Canada Post. They’ve got secure boxes to leave packages right with your mail (they just leave a key in your regular mail slot so you can open it, then you stick the key in a slot when you’re done). Or if there’s no space for your package, they have post offices all over the country, and you can pick it up from the one closest to you.

They do have overnight shipping, too, though most of the time I’m in no rush and would rather it be shipped efficiently than quickly. Fill that plane and/or truck before you send it to me, that’s cool.
