How to stop amazon from leaving parcels lying around?

Some small amazon deliveries could easily fit in our communal post boxes however they insist on leaving parcels outside my door in the hallway, why ?

They don’t all do this. Just some

I know you can give delivery preferences but none of them say " leave through post box "

Learn to live with it, that’s the simple answer or just don’t order from Amazon, or use a Amazon locker

Thing is. Royal Mail dont do it, neither do any other courier I’ve used

You’ll not find an answer here, take it up with them if it’s so much of an issue

Amazon aren’t the courier, it will be RM most of the time.

For a lot of places, Amazon now use their own “Amazon Logistics”, rather than outsourcing to someone else.

I expect it’s a “embrace it” situation unfortuantely.

If you don’t like the way a company conducts business, stop using it.

It’s quite simple really.

If you want to shop at Amazon, you accept its business practices.

You’ve raised this before, @Venomx. The answers haven’t changed.

Have I really ? I can’t remember

I think I asked whether they post through the letter box or not for you guys

You can quite easily update delivery instructions on the website. Wether the courier decides to look at them is another matter.

If the courier can’t deliver to your address properly*, the best solution is probably to see if there’s an Amazon locker near you and have your items delivered there instead. You’ll have to leave the house to fetch them is the downside, but the upside is anything delivered to a locker will be securely locked away until you collect it.

If it’s a problem — worth using an Amazon locker or collect from a shop

Good idea. I could get it sent to a newsagent instead. However they aren’t great either as I had to wait around for ages for the shop keeper to find my parcel in the back of his shop ( click and collect but not Amazon)

I’d be concerned they could lose my parcel

I’ll try a different newsagent next time for a smaller less expensive parcel and see what they are like

No Amazon lockers near you?

This one?

Or this one?

Or maybe it was this one?

Or then again, this one?

Sorry, I meant this one

Must have been this one actually

Possibly this one?

Final chance?!

This time it’s the final one
