oshyPOV: You made the mistake of trying to track a package in 2024

@ocean the best part is that in the end you'll just notice another line appear in the transit log that says "recipient couldn't be reached, package diverted to pick-up point" and nobody's been to your door all day
sahqon@shi @ocean That's not even bad, last week or week before, mum told me that she saw the car arrive from the window, but it went past, so she went outside thinking it will be coming backwards from the neighbors and she went outside to wait for it, then tried to flag it down and it almost ran her over in its haste to escape. Turned out they left the package with the neighbors, probably got embarrassed when they saw her and made a hasty enough retreat to endanger random passersby and other commuters.
Good thing we are on good terms with the neighbors but wtf. No call, drops off everything in the same street at a (randomly picked?) single house.
@shi @ocean Ours are normally very good. No official porch delivery, most stuff comes with pin codes now, so you need the code to pick it up. Which can be turned into porch delivery if you can talk the driver into it: you say the code and they drop it wherever you want (since they got the confirmation of delivery by code), otherwise they won't. Most routes have set drivers so if you order a lot of stuff, you'll know them all (we have personal phone numbers for a few of them). They often offer to take larger items inside though that's not in their job description. One always comes in to pet the dog. But then every once in a while they get a new guy and shit can go either hilariously or annoyingly south.
