Who would open their door in the dark at 10pm ?

[hollydolly]

to accept a delivery ?

I ordered some batteries from Amazon. Just had notice that delivery will be made between 7.45 an 9.45pm.... ! it'll be pitch dark at that time...

if you live alone would you open your door at that time in the dark for a delivery ?

 

[PeppermintPatty]

I missed the part about, if you live alone.

 

[dilettante]

I do. Heck, I even went for a walk around the block here last night after midnight.

 

[oldaunt]

Yep, after they dropped it on the porch and left. No big deal.

 

[dilettante]

Of course I am a big, strong, guy. At least one of those things is true.

 

[birdy]

I would only open the door to retrieve the package after they left and I made sure there was no one lurking in the shadows. I have cameras. You can never be too careful.

Two truths and a lie?

Hey, I've been losing some weight. Give me a break!

If I were still up, yes, after I checked my Ring and looked out the sidelight.

 

[Purwell]

I do but check on the camera first.

I would let them leave it on the porch and get it after they leave.

yes all well and good if you have a porch... or a safe area to leave things. May people don't ..in the UK anyway. Many people have their front doors directly on the pavement..like this..

 

[bobcat]

.... and the batteries are probably for your dead flashlight that you're gonna need.

 

[CallMeKate]

In all the many years I've been buying online, there's never once been a delivery that needed the door to be opened. Everything is placed on the front porch. Only a FedEx driver knocks once in a while, but that's just to announce there's a package on the porch... they knock and head right back for the truck.

they're not but that would be funny..,

yes I have a Video ring doorbell... and so I would be ok..plus my front door doesn't open onto the street... but many people don't have either of those things. I do think it's a liberty to expect people to open their doors at 10 o'clock at night for a delivery that's already costing more ( prime) for the service..lots of people are in bed by them as well

That's a risk of using Amazon.

Right... your question was "who would open their door" and I responded with why I wouldn't.

yes, and I said not everyone has a porch...

 

[hollydolly]

Not just amazon... this is also happens with other carriers.. we have quite a few here.. Evri, DPD, Yodel, UPS. and many more

 

[dilettante]

Well where do you sit to shake your cane at the playing children who make too much noise?

 

[Gardenlover]

Porch or not, I would retrieve the package after checking the camera. The package may not be there in the morning.

(Those noisy playing children might swipe it)

 

[fuzzybuddy]

I think it depends on your ability to protect yourself. If you're a 92 year old granny using a walker, maybe not a great idea to open the door. without knowing the person on the other side. If you feel comfortable opening the door, open the door.
