Some people are downright defensive about visitors on their road. On the other hand, a recognizable UPS or FedEx is likely to get a friendly wave.&lt;p&gt;Amazon would do well to paint their logo on the van, but maybe it isn&amp;#x27;t their van.&lt;p&gt;Branding matters.</text><parent_chain><item><author>stuart78</author><text>Was coming here to post the same thing. The vans in my area are unbranded, the employees unprofessional and the delivery is sloppy. &amp;quot;Soft&amp;quot; expenses such as uniforms and paint make a difference on perception, as would better supervision and training.&lt;p&gt;I also wonder, in the drivers&amp;#x27; defense, if the delivery schedule is unrealistic. I can better understand lobbing a box on the lawn if you&amp;#x27;re 10 deliveries behind.</text></item><item><author>altotrees</author><text>I have had Amazon folks in my neighborhood: leave packages on the sidewalk, throw packages over fences and ask me for a tip.&lt;p&gt;These are antecdotal, but if Amazon wants to catch up to a company like UPS, they have a ton of ground to make up. Delivering packages is really hard work, believe it or not, and underpaying someone to do it isn&amp;#x27;t going to bring about the results you&amp;#x27;re after, guaranteed.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Amazon will launch its own delivery service to compete with FedEx, UPS</title><url>https://bgr.com/2018/02/09/amazon-delivery-service-swa-fedex-ups/</url></story>

No coherent chain of a command, just get stuff to people&amp;#x27;s houses no matter what or lose your contract.</text><parent_chain><item><author>stuart78</author><text>Was coming here to post the same thing.
