I used to live in a few places in Queens, NY so I belong to a few Facebook groups for those areas. One common thread I see regularly involves mis-delivered packages, probably from Amazon since they are such a big deal nowadays. There would be a photo of the lobby where the package was delivered to, but the recipient of the photo doesn't recognize the place. I don't know how badly the mistake was made, maybe the street names are similar, maybe the house number was misread and some last digit wasn't seen. I think in general some delivery people are just sloppy. Don't give a dang about their job. Under too much pressure to meet some quota so they just do the least amount of work, sometimes even less. I once witnessed some UPS guy simply just dropped off the package and didn't ring any doorbell or knock on door. One guy did yell "UPS", but that is only good if you are right by the door at the time. The company is to blame, too, always squeezing more and more out of their slave workers.
This week it happened to my brother's package. Around 6 PM, he was notified by email some package was delivered. By 7 PM when I came home there was still nothing. I walked to a few houses near mine, there were a few packages on the neighbors' porches but none had my brother's name. I even went a block over because a few times I got packages and such meant for a house on that block, same house number. No luck. I told my brother to let Amazon know and hopefully they will send another package, no charge. Strangely, he didn't even get a photo. Was the delivery guy that lazy? They told him to wait until 5 PM the next day.
The next day as I went off to work, early before the sun rose, there was a package on our porch, who knows since when. It was the "missing" package. I suppose it was mis-delivered to some house nearby but the neighbor was decent enough to drop it off at my house. It is good to know there are still good people around.
