Couriers often get a bad rap. If a package gets damaged or even worse, stolen, it's usually the delivery driver who gets the blame.
But judging from a picture Danielle McPherson recently tweeted, some of them might not even be trying! When she came home, Danielle found her Amazon package laying on decorative rocks near the house, with a few of them thrown on top of the box.
Danielle's tweet instantly went viral and has already accumulated over 325K likes and 1.1K comments, many of which are other people sharing similar experiences.
Yes, these images scream "minimal effort" but have in mind that there's only so much a courier can do without a secure mailbox. Anyway, continue scrolling and check out the photos!

According to Morgan Stanley estimates, Amazon is already delivering about half of its packages in the U.S. and will soon pass both United Parcel Service and FedEx in total volume.
Reportedly, Amazon Logistics more than doubled its share of U.S. package volumes from about 20% in recent history and is now shipping at a rate of 2.5 billion per year. For comparison, it is estimated that UPS and FedEx have U.S. shipping volumes of 4.7 billion and 3 billion packages per year, respectively.

"Customers love the transition of Prime from two days to one day — they've already ordered billions of items with free one-day delivery this year. It's a big investment, and it's the right long-term decision for customers," CEO Jeff Bezos said about the one-day Prime shipping on an earnings call at the end of 2019.
For his company, it’s not just about getting more packages to more customers at higher speeds. It’s also about owning everything from the arrival of a product at an Amazon factory (or the creation of the product from an Amazon subsidiary) to the so-called last-mile delivery to the customer’s doorstep. And the numbers say they have been doing quite a good job so far. What is your experience with Amazon deliveries? Tell us in the comments!

This actually makes it stand out more. It's not just a package - it's a package with a CAPE!

Couriers don't have time to mess around with their deliveries. If you don't have an obvious spot for them to conceal your packages they can't be expected to create one. They do what they can. If there is a fenced in yard with a dog running loose, what are they supposed to do there? The pictures are funny though.

where exactly do you expect them to put it when you don't give them a proper spot?

Controversial opinion. Don't order packages if you don't know you are going to be home to accept them. In Britain you can have orders shipped to post offices and various other convenience stores that you can collect them from at your time and ease, just need an ID for proof

Agree with this. Amazon/UPS/Fedex drivers have schedules and are under pressure. While it's great if they find somewhere to hide your package, it's not really their job to do so unless you have an established place for your deliveries. example: "Inside the recycle trolley on side of house." There are Amazon Lockers you can have your items shipped to. I've had mine shipped to work (not all workplaces allow this). You can ask a retired neighbor to receive packages if they're willing. Bottom line: People are asking for items to be hidden because of the rise in package theft - so address THAT with a secure plan, don't whine about the drivers.

I came in to this thinking I'd be amused and get a good laugh, but instead I'm leaving annoyed and disliking humans, once again. Complaining about the carriers, who, by the looks of the majority of these photos, are doing the best they can, is just flat out rude. If you don't want your packages left out in the open, put something out there that the packages can be put in/under/behind. You give the carriers no other options, and then you batch about it. That's not funny.

I came in just to see how many other commenters would say this. It’s extremely well known that Amazon in particular overworks their drivers, packers, etc and treats them like s**t so I really can’t find it in me to judge these drivers.

This is dumb, I try to put packages where they aren't noticeable but it's on the buyer. If you can't be home to get your packages, then you should have a receptacle and camera/neighbor. My route is sometimes light, but we have had up to 300 - 400 packages in a single day. And then some of us have to go back out (if you're an RCA) if there is a route that doesn't have a carrier that day. People need to take responsibility for themselves and plan ahead on where they want their packages to go and the most secure.

Agreed. The drivers I've seen are always busting their tails to get packages delivered as fast as possible. They do a great job. I did like the prickle tree one. :)
