The drivers coming out of Baltimore are seemingly not all qualified to be making deliveries. We've ended up with three house number signs out by our mailbox, the last one specifically purchased and angled for the benefit of Amazon drivers. I make a point of tracking every Amazon delivery...keep a tab open on the computer...so that I remember to check from time to time, especially for sensitive items that shouldn't be out in extreme heat/cold. I've actually had to go flag down the truck on our cul-de-sac when the driver is obviously confused by having to find a specific address. Everyone has numbers by their mailbox and, for the houses that are at the curb, on their houses. No excuse for not having an accurate delivery.
You'll also notice that the closer a truck gets to your address, Amazon has a tracking map up, showing how many stops are left before your delivery. It's not accurate....doesn't always update. It disappears from their site when the package is delivered...and then their site should show a photo or indication of where/how the package was left (mailbox, resident, etc.). Your photo wasn't special for you....it's what they do. Maybe it just started up in your area...we've had it practically ever since Baltimore became part of the delivery equation. The drivers sometimes lie, though...again, I think it's because they're too lazy to take a picture or perhaps they don't have camera capability (although I'd think Amazon would require that since it's part of their protocol).
