It appears we should no longer expect an Amazon Delivery Driver to knock or ring except in some exceptional circumstances according to their alleged policy noted below:

Key Details of the Policy

• No Knock or Ring: According to internal guidance for Delivery Service Partner (DSP) drivers, drivers are no longer mandated to knock, ring doorbells, or wait for the customer when dropping off standard packages.
• The Exception: Drivers are only required to make direct or attended contact if the delivery specifically calls for an attended method (such as a delivery requiring a signature or a six-digit One-Time Password [OTP]).
• App Notifications: Instead of an audible alert at the door, Amazon relies on the mobile app tracking, delivery-day notifications, and a photo confirmation sent once the package is dropped off.

Is it just my deliveries or is everyone now experiencing poor delivery service from #Amazon these days? In recent weeks we have found that the #Amazon Delivery Drivers walk up our drive and simply leave whatever package they are delivering on the front doorstep. They don’t ring the doorbell or attempt to knock. The package is left out in full view & to whatever the prevailing elements have to offer. If you speak to Amazon you get nowhere, even when you offer video evidence from an Amazon owned Ring video doorbell! #crapAmazonservice

I have completed their form & received an email asking my permission to contact the local delivery depot about this specific delivery today. At the bottom of the email it asked me to tick a box if they had resolved my issue. Attached is a photo of my email reply.

@bbcPoV Happy for you to share my comments but will decline your offer of recording a short video.

Is Return to Paradise for real! I’ve seen better acting at my granddaughter’s Primary School Nativity Play! Why is the BBC showing such nonsense? #ReturnToParadise #BBC

[Stephen @Stephen1446850]

@Ellie9691 I can only assume the BBC shows it as some joint enterprise that sees Aussie tv take BBC programmes for profit. Watched first 10 minutes, first five of those with curiosity & remainder with disbelief!

Well said @NikBoyle The feeling of so many!

Dear Manchester United, Glazer family and Sir Jim Ratcliffe,

In 1958, Manchester United lost eight players in the Munich air disaster. Despite that unimaginable tragedy, a patched-up team finished 9th in the league, reached the FA Cup final and the European Cup semi-finals.

The following season, they finished 2nd.

Fast-forward to today.

We watched hundreds of millions of pounds’ worth of footballers stroll around in the West London sunshine as though they were enjoying a Sunday walk in the park with their kids.

So-called world-class players, afforded every conceivable privilege and advantage, seemingly incapable of mustering the courage, pride or determination to fight for that badge.

16th in the league. Weak. Pathetic. Gutless.

But it’s the absence of fight that disgusts me most. No fight whatsoever.

In 1958, the surviving United players faced adversity that this pampered generation could scarcely begin to comprehend. Yet they fought, persevered and rebuilt.

Today, with billions squandered, you’ve systematically dismantled the very club those men sacrificed so much to rebuild.

Players, directors and owners alike, you are an absolute disgrace to the name, the badge and, above all, the history and memory of the men who made Manchester United great.

They built a legacy through courage, sacrifice and an unbreakable will to win.

You’ve inherited that legacy and appear perfectly content to destroy it.

Sell the club now

Those who should leave Old Trafford as quickly as possible:-
Glaziers, Ineos, including senior mgt team, Fernandes & Martinez.

After that, let new owners & coaching team decide the next stage of the clear out.

[Stephen @Stephen1446850]

I no longer know what to say about #United. Martinez is an absolute disgrace & frankly, should never play for them again. Let him rot until January and then boot him out.

[Stephen @Stephen1446850]

The reality is that anyone buying United & making it debt free as well as making it self reliant going forward would need in the region of £8bn. That includes buying out current owners, paying down debt that includes outstanding transfer fees - over £1 billion & building a new stadium needed for future viability. All this before investing in revamping the current squad. Sounds frightening. However, at the end of this they would own the most desirable sports franchise globally!

[Stephen @Stephen1446850]

When will the USA wake up to what this man is doing to their country?

[Stephen @Stephen1446850]

It’s not what I expected or wanted but Michael Carrick has to go now. I have now watched one of the worst performances by a United team in some time & given where we have been, that is not good! #ManchesterUnited #carrick

[Stephen @Stephen1446850]

The world is in crisis, the UK is having major problems with cost of living, energy supply, immigration, & the ability to defend itself. What is Andy Burnham talking about? VAR! So out of his depth with no plans for the real problems!

[Stephen @Stephen1446850]

This is absolutely dreadful. Some would say it could only happen in the US. Oh, hang on isn’t there a party led by someone like Trump in the UK where similar happened? Of course, Nigel Farage on stage at Reform laughing as someone who protested was set upon!

I think Martinez makes a point about investment. However, first he must look at his performances. He was at fault for Spurs’ equaliser & against Atletico he rushed in & was by-passed far too easily leading to their first goal which put United immediately on the back foot. Has he taken his views to Carrick & Wilcox in private in the first instance? In my view, this was not the right place or method to view his opinion. No matter how much some United fans may be loving it!

[Stephen @Stephen1446850]

Martinez rushes up to win the ball in midfield, fails, yet again, & leaves a huge gap for them to play through! #ManchesterUnited

[Stephen @Stephen1446850]

In my view, he is a large part of the problem. The other is Tielemans who is not linking defence to attack in the way it was hoped for. Baleba can help resolve that issue with his pace helping Mainoo’s lack of it. United either stick with Fernandes & hope he plays through this period or we use him from the bench and play Cunha as a no 10. I would go for the latter right now. #ManU #BrunoFernandes
