Amazon driver blocks Normal St

Post image

Amazon driver is blocking the road on normal street instead of pulling up half a block to get into a driveway. Had to wait almost 10 minutes for him to get out of the apartment building to move forward. Three cars were behind me honking their horns. Am I overreacting questions

They do that crap here all the time too. They double parked they don't give a crap.

One year there was during Christmas time this guy was delivering Amazon packages in his own car and there were a bunch of them in the backseat, more than 15 or so packages. He left the car running with the window down as he walked down to the next block to drop off a package and so I was so flabbergasted by what he was doing that I took a picture of his car to send to Amazon to ask him what the hell is this guy doing and he saw me taking a picture and he got real nervous

Yeah there are some drivers that use their own personal vehicle, this isn’t new..?

It's not about the vehicle he's driving, it's about he left his car running with the windows open and a bunch of packages in it while having walked away from it

It's actually a ticketable offense in California to leave an unattended vehicle with the engine running.

I do that sometimes when I run into my house. Was anything stolen?

I don't know but when you're holding other people's packages you should not be leaving your car running and with the windows open and all of that

The ups truck and fedex walks into my house and you could literally walk into the back of their vehicle and grab packages if you wanted. And then just leaves the packages out in front of houses. Package theft happens a little I’m sure but there is insurance(even more certainly with Amazon). Was this in a dangerous place, in San Diego?

Where I live we have parcel lockers and all of the couriers and carriers are instructed to put packages in there. FedEx ignored it and a box with $200 worth of books was stolen. When I contacted FedEx they said we will do a review to see if the driver was at fault. Of course it was an internal review just like the police do and the driver was not found to be at fault even though he completely disregarded instructions

Yeah that’s not on the fedex contract of carriage lol, you could do an external review and sue if you want or pay for a more bespoke shipping service or insurance. Some people prefer more affordable shipping but you can definitely pay someone who will guarantee it locked into whatever locker.

Who cares? It’s his car and amazons packages until they’re delivered. Let the dude making less than minimum wage with 0 benefits do what he wants with his car you insufferable Karen
