    My instructions were “On the porch or under the shelter by the bins”

      when the company as allocated at most 5 seconds per delivery and you’ve already spent 3, reading instructions is not going to happen. Gotta go fast

        Yep, this is the essence of it.

        Also keep in mind the quality massively depending on how “close” to the actual amazon delivery you are, company-wise. Is it an amazon driver doing your delivery? A contractor? That contractor’s subcontractor? I think DHL once used 5 levels of subcontractors?

        At some point, so much money has been skimmed off by so many managers that the driver is losing money by breathing between actions.

          That’s the thing, I’m always hesitant to give negative feedback on the delivery given I know it’s more than likely that the driver is both overworked and poorly paid.

        Maybe I need to erase the word “bin” from all delivery instructions. Too suggestive perhaps

          Perhaps change ‘by’ for ‘next to’ and put an empty weather-resistant container by them? Put it before the bins, so it’s the first thing they physically walk to.

      Not to be pedantic, but under shelter by the bins could be interpreted as the bins provided shelter to your delivery.

        Not at all, thanks - I’ll be sure to revise the directions to remove any doubt!
