So funny that they can sound so much the same. My kids scream, a lot. I finally have learned to close the windows in between the houses but that can get hot because there is no cross breeze. <br />Sorry about your packages. Some people just don't understand how not being considerate can affect others. <br />Vickie @Vickie's Kitchen and Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402367232977896594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221552491406434721.post-64049384438025071692022-10-02T00:03:57.289-07:002022-10-02T00:03:57.289-07:00Anne,
I have called Amazon about ten times. They a...Anne,<br />I have called Amazon about ten times. They are appalled at the places our packages are left and by the fact that sometimes they are thrown. Getting packages off the side steps and sometimes the car is okay. However, packages that are inaccessible to us is not okay with me or Amazon. There is supposed to be delivery directions that ask for the delivery to go to the left of the door. Amazon does not think that is unreasonable or putting an undue burden on delivery drivers. <br />One Amazon woman said she had problems, too. Her son is disabled and packages had been placed in places he could not retrieve them. Obviously, this guy read the note to not put packages in front of the door. Once, the package was so heavy I could not push the door to move it. Plus, the item was breakable. I almost fell trying to get around a flat package without stepping on it. <br />It is easy enough for a fully abled person to get a package anywhere it is put. But, a fully aware delivery person might realize just anywhere is not going to work for retrieval. <br />Thankfully, the delivery people take pictures so that when I complain, the Amazon cs sees what I am talking about. One package was in the middle of pots on the porch. Only by removing pots were we able to use a reacher and a golf club to drag the package out. This was with Tommy and I both working.<br />When delivery notes are on the package, they should be followed. These are notes that go on every package sent to me. <br />By the way, when I said I yelled loudly, I was yelling to get his attention and then to get him to get the package for me so I would not be in jeopardy. I was not abusive. And, I did ask him, not tell him to hand me the package. <br />At my house, packages were left everywhere but not in a place I could not reach or walk. When I noted that the side porch was where they should be, several delivery people put the package on the side porch.

Sometimes they are even shoved between plants. It is what it is, and they are delivered one way or the other.Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221552491406434721.post-59236444186957046882022-10-01T19:31:01.819-07:002022-10-01T19:31:01.819-07:00Cheryl,

This is over the steps. There is no other way onto the porch.So, it is the only way to the door unless the delivery person walks around the ramp and climbs onto the porch.<br />Why not assume that there is a problem with getting things into the house. Just because you can get everything in does not mean I can. <br />The only reason he said he did not want to block the door is because that is on the delivery instructions along with don't throw the package. He was not thinking about us. <br />So, his assumptions are not the best.

I was always able to get things when we had the ramp - but mail nor delivery ever used it. I asked once, and the mailman said it was disrespectful in his eyes. They always used the steps and walk.<br />Not everyone thinks of things the same way.<br />I think the fact he didn't want to block the door was nice - he may not have wanted to block the ramp either. Just because you have a ramp, one does not assume it is for all in the house. Just my thoughts.<br />I think a sign is your best bet.Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221552491406434721.post-38606792573436741052022-10-01T17:31:29.869-07:002022-10-01T17:31:29.869-07:00Barbara,
