They also knock on the door and rat a tat on my knocker. Sometimes they drop the parcel on the mat and head back to the van so I call them back and ask them to pick it up and hand it to me. Bet they are cursing me under their breath.
I live in a hi rise block, I have on few occasions watched the van pull up, the driver lean out the window, take a photo, and drive away. I then get a we were unable make your delivery message. Phone depot to be told the driver said he came to the door button no reply. The last time it happened I filmed it. Amazon were very apologetic had the item plus a refund by 10 am the next day. One of the delivery men told me they have a couple of drivers who will not do lifts and claim it takes to long to use the stairs.
The thing is that companies l;ike Amazon have them on a brutal schedule and difficult deliveries ruin that so they often do as described by Rowan, especially Hi rises. I have a big sign saying where to put packages and most do these days. It's been a lot better since they don't need an actual signature, they can just sump it and take a picture which I think is better though that might change in some areas where there are a lot of tea leaves.
