[–] 33 points 8 months ago (10 children)

I've disconnected the doorbell at every place I've lived in the last 10 years. If I'm expecting you I'll be waiting and opening the door for you, everyone else can leave a message or find a different way to contact me

    These would generally fall under the "expected" category.

    Yes, in the three nine fourteen hour window they might show up in.

    I'm at work for most of that window. And when I miss it, they'll try again the next day at the same time...believe it or not, I'll be at work then too.

    What’s fun is now UPS wants a second shipping fee to schedule a time or hold your package for you. You can no longer presign their little paper to leave the package. The only option is to pay, or they’ll return your package.

    It’s extortion.

    Worse, I was home both days and they never knocked or rang the bell. I let them return the package, on them, took my full refund, then reordered. We cycled through this game until someone rang the bell.

    So nothing relevant to you at all, in these circumstances.

    Not everything is about me. My comment was more tongue-in-cheek than anything.

    More seriously, the tracking numbers usually narrow it down to an hour or 2 if you actually follow it. Given the once every few years that I have a package requiring a signature, I think I can handle it.
