i did not ask for this!! don’t pay extra for it and act like you’re somehow doing me a fucking favor because now i have to take the day off and practically sit by the fucking door listening for the guy to knock – cannot fully engage in an activity, wear headphones, shower, etc etc etc.
again, I didn’t ask for this!!
these days it’s really obnoxious because now it seems like you can’t even turn it off? like 10 years ago maybe you could sign into the site and say ‘actually please leave at the door’. now it’s fucking LOCKED ON. ABSOLUTELY OBNOXIOUS. SHIT!
I mean, on the assumption that it’s not high value or urgent, and you really value your time - why not just let the delivery fail and pick it up at your convenience a day later at their depot?
Obviously if you’re out in the sticks and the depot is 30+ miles away then it’s not feasible but hey, your day is your own again.
This is honestly my question
there’s many stores that are happy to hold on to packages on behalf of the intended recipient for several days, such as UPS-partnered locations.
Give the gadgets store down the street a call and ask them if they’d be willing to receive and sign for your package.
