Most times, the Amazon man likes to deliver to us at night. It’s probably because of the new depot built just outside our town. I’d like to think it’s because that they deliver to the furthest addresses first and work their way back, but I’ve seen them deliver to neighbourhoods just around the corner from mine early on in the morning. When you’re given a delivery date, you don’t necessarily receive a time as well until the day of delivery. That means that if you’re out for the day, you’ve got to leave your safe spot unlocked for the whole of the day, which can be a bit inconvenient if you’re not going to be around. As the driver, it also means that you’ve got to drive around at night in an area that you’re not necessarily familiar with. But when I’m tracking the driver with the app, it looks like they drive through several districts during the delivery period before they reach my address. I’m wondering how many local customers do they serve and whether it would be better to offer a local pickup point?
