You mean whoever keeps posing as excited parcel recipients and chides total strangers for not answering their phones? Yes, I suppose mental illness could be a behavioral factor.
Indeed, it was Amazon. I didn't answer because caller ID didn't say who it was. The driver simply marked the pkg as "undeliverable due to no safe place to leave pkg." I was home and would have answered a knock or doorbell. This is the first time they've done this. They've always left pkgs in the past without any problems. Sigh, I needed this item weeks ago but had to return it the first time due to a missing part.
I'm not sure why them doing a courtesy call bothers you so much as to repeatedly post how them trying to be polite and do a good job as a delivery person is somehow an attempt to annoy & eat up plan minutes (people still have limited minutes?). You must be very hard to please in your personal life.
I worked for Amazon for years. We ALWAYS knock or ring the bell. The only reason we would have central make a call is if the package requires a signature and we didn't get an answer. I suspect, Seth, that you are the person who has been telling everyone to answer the phone. I advise everyone who is worried about this to check with Amazon and check your delivery settings if you are with Amazon prime. As I said, Seth, there is no way we would fail to knock or ring the bell.
