Amazon is photographing deliveries to show where they've been left

[LordFox]

I am FedEx and the packages are left at the door unless you request them to be signed. Once they leave the truck it's up to customer to take control. Only if the package is damage or leaking then we're take action. If the package can't be delivered then you have to make arrangements to come to the nearest warehouse in your area to pick up your packages. Amazon is just doing it seeking take pictures see your packages are there and when you get home their not there. Then someone else has taken your packages. Should Amazon be liable yes or no? Good question? Always read the fine print...

Like you said they leave it at the door ... problem is they all too often leave it at the wrong door .... I.e. the wrong address and then you have to fight because the company trusts the ***** and says it was delivered so .... no refund , no product .... why are you upset ... etc.. STUPID AND BROKEN

There is one more downside to this. A dishonest delivery person may take a picture and then take the parcel back with him, and then later use the photo to prove he delivered the parcel.

Then he gets caught on the security camera he didn't know was watching him and goes to prison. A driver would have to be pretty stupid to try that I think. Risking his job, freedom, and entire future for what turned out to be a box of honey roasted peanuts.

Always bet on stupidity.

You need to unroll that $50.00 bill, and put it back in your wallet. That Peruvian marching powder will make you paranoid as all hell!

"thankfully, users can opt out of the system"

Umm, how about users are automatically OPT OUT??? Why do all of these companies just add us to a bunch of crap we don't want? Kind of like companies automatically blasting us with spam with a purchase? Ridiculous.

What they're doing is illegal. They're only supposed to be able to snap a shot from what is viewable from the street or a public place. Not right at your house.

This is so lame! After taking the snapshot the courier can simply take back the goods and blame the nonexistent "thieves". This "system" novelty must be liked by retarded customers only.

I've sold some things on e-bay that were expensive and shipped them signature required. It costs a whole $1.00 extra, but it ensures that it gets into the hands of the rightful recipient.

I understand you are trying to be thoughtful, but I've chewed out sellers for this before, as I work 5 days a week and an hour away from my home, so those packages become unobtainable for me. I've also never had anything stolen, though they have been drug into the yard by my dog, left by the side door in the rain (when my front porch is covered) and left across the road at the neighbors house. I would like this service, but 90% of my Amazon packages are delivered by USPS with the remaining 10% split between FedEx and UPS

@Tanstar Dear sir, please make some sort of effort to fix you post above, (#33), so that we can see what you have to say, and respond to it, if we should so choose. As it stands now, it can't be quoted. This is what you get if you try "

......

" (And I had to put the spacing periods in it, or you wouldn't see it at all).

You've probably left a tailing "{quote}" after your entire text, dropped a bracket off the accreditation header, or failed to put a "{quote}" after one of the posts you've repeated.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I was trying to not quote the entirety of the post nor the post above it and didn't delete everything needed. Thanks!
