    Imagine thinking that a delivery service where each van has thousands of packages is going to cater to each and every recipient 🤣 👌

      Bruh I work for a postal service and you should read the complaints.

      Knocked too loud, knocked too soft, used the doorbell and it scared me, put my parcel in my mailbox instead of bringing it to the door, delivered my parcel when I was working from home, delivered the parcel to my husband and it was his birthday present, when the postman delivers my parcels my dog barks, I ordered size 12 pants and you delivered size 14…

      Anyone who thinks parcel people are stupid… our staff are no dumber than your average customer.

      And probably drives on the most efficient route for their run.

      You’re about halfway along the run? They’ll always pass you about halfway through the day.

          Here in NZ I believe they mostly can set their own routes, being ‘independent’ contractors.

          I have heard Amazon in particular is super tight in the US.

            This is about ups, not Amazon… In America ups isn’t independent contractors, thankfully. That’s a shit ass union busting system designed to defeat worker wages

            Amazon’s model means they’re not especially tight; they run routes all day across larger distances.
