That happened to me with UPS. I watched from my upstairs window as the guy got out of his van, went to my front door, and waited. Then he put the slip through and left. I ran down and asked why he hadn't knocked or rung the doorbell. He blamed a faulty doorbell. I rang the doorbell and it worked. He grinned. "Fair cop!" Unbelievable.


I don't get it, if he's not saving any time or effort, what's in it for the driver to not deliver your package?


He doesn't have to speak to me, log the parcel, sign anything, etc.
