Amazon drivers here never even hand you the parcels anymore. They leave it on the doorstep, knock the door and then by the time you've gone to the door to collect it, they're driving off.
I did once have one not even bother knocking the door and automatically leave the parcel in the bin, even though I was at home and he could have just knocked the door and handed it to me. ๐คฆ
I'm not sure where you live, but our XYZ (USPS, Amazon, UPS) drivers almost never knock or ring the bell. FedEx is the only one that does, and they don't come very often. Maybe all the drivers know our house and don't want to hear the dogs. Honestly it's appreciated, I don't care to answer the door without prior notice, doubly so if no one is actually there when I do.
USPS drivers just want to get done for the day and go home, but Amazon (definitely) and UPS (I think) get docked for taking over X time per delivery. If someone comes to the door to talk to you and ask you something, that could really mess with your times.
You are correct where I am we have about 200 stops a day over 400 packages 1 minute per stop 45-60 stops a hour is what the expect.
Yup, I wouldn't be knocking either. Thank you for your service. Amazon?
Yup we don't even get brakes well we do but if you take them you fall behind and get punished for it.
