Amazon delivery driver

Amazon Prime delivery

Picked up this time.
Amazon driver right outside

I'll back this up. Answered the call yesterday, opened the door and saw the driver with the phone to his ear talking to me. It's Amazon.

How is Amazon going to cope with theft of delivered packages if those packages are delivered by drones?

Thanks everyone for the update and it makes sense as moments later, after the call, I got a text message saying my package couldn't be delivered, which is strange as I've never had Amazon call me before about a delivery before.

I... don't know? Kinda the same if a man or machine puts it on your doorstep, no?
But I work in insurance, so I cant really help you.

Yes, it was Amazon Prime calling to tell me they were here to deliver my package!

Good call - did not answer, but package was waiting.,

Yes it was Amazon prime. It's legit.

Amazon Prime delivery. Asked if I wanted the package left on the front step or some other option.

While this number might be used by Amazon, be aware that caller ID is easily spoofed. Never give info to cold callers!

This guy calls to tell me he has delivered my package, after receiving a text message and an email. Why do these drivers need to also call. I live in a house in a remote suburban cul de sac.

I didn't order any Amazon Prime Now today.  I'm at work.  Uh oh.  I better call them back.  Make sure I'm not getting scammed.

No one thinks you're funny. This is clearly actually Amazon.

I wasn't wearing my comic face. Several comments here fail to "clearly actually" identify a strange caller and have come from people who did not "clearly actually" expect a delivery or place any orders. What's not clear is a reason for relentless demands made here, often in the pattern of fraudulent shills, telling people what to do when unnamed callers pounce on their phones.

Everything I am reading about the Amazon Prime stringer drivers describes a delivery system which was lashed together with little to no consideration for efficiency or security. Amazon could study what works and what fails in parcel delivery and put real thought into logistics, but instead dumps all that homework onto not-really contractors who lack experience and training. Amazon is run by big boys and girls who should be able to populate Caller ID with a proper CNAM name tag so that these "oh so important don't you dare ignore them" phone calls do not ambush people the same way as countless calls from all kinds of thieves and con men.

Into these weaknesses will creep exploitation, deception, and abuse, if not from criminals posing as Amazon stringers, then from those very faux freelancers. This is why you are free to describe your caller experience, but you are not free to blanket everyone else's.

I think part of the problem is that the delivery people are actually sub contractors and are using their own phones to make these calls.  I have read the same thing about this new delivery system and that it was poorly thought out.  Maybe they spend too much time trying to figure out how to make drones work for delivery?

Classifying the runners as "contractors" is debatable, as lawsuits in Arizona and California have stated. But that's just the beginning.

I'm reading that owning a smartphone is a job requisite, for hosting Amazon software. Also, customers can set delivery instructions, including opting for some phone call alert. What should happen is that Flex/Prime Now drivers rely on their own maps and GPS if they're supposedly lost. If they can't find a stop or reach a gated community or for whatever reason get stuck, they should first be calling an Amazon dispatcher for help, which I understand is available and friendly. Then, for very good security and quality control reasons, only an Amazon office should be making tickler calls to consignees if needed, and while displaying useful Caller ID. That of course is an ideal arrangement.

As it stands, the drivers are thrown from the warehouse with a load of completely unsorted parcels, if they get a decent load at all. A lot of them apparently don't think to plan their routes and resort them in their vehicles by "last stop first" order. The Flex drivers are reportedly paid a flat rate for four hours, even if the load takes twice as long. Between the lack of guidance and false urgency there's ample room for newbies to panic and make dozens of phone calls every trip.

Assuming that, at the moment of order placement, consignees are consciously consenting to phone calls about a delivery, it should not be such a god-awful surprise when they get one, especially when the item is expected the same bloody day. I think the defensive chatter here about front porches and fear of theft is overblown, and fails to acknowledge regional differences in housing styles and neighborhoods. Amazon should not need unaffiliated websites like this to legitimize its customer service phone traffic. Said customers should not be piling in here in twos and threes to lob sunny and/or bratty remarks unless there is a serious problem no one wants to discuss.

Received this call, and did not have time pick it up. Later Amazon 877-252-2701 called me, because they are trying to deliver my package while I was not at home. Talk to them, I ask them to redeliver my package.

It was an Amazon driver calling for my gate code to get in my gated community. He looked like an Uber driver, he was in his POV. Also, he was delivering on Labor Day (Holiday).
