Is Amazon constantly caught up in lawsuits that involve it's employee's being hurt on their job's delivering product's from door to door ?

Recently a woman driver in South Carolina was mauled by Pitt bulls when trying to deliver products to an Amazon customer. She is reportedly in critical condition. A dog attacked an Amazon driver in Sumter County. Here's what SC law says about who's responsible.

The list goes on and on, but here is another one below.....


OK Jeff, this stuff is simple in solutions I think... Face it, your wild eyed model involving delivery to everyone's doorstep has failed. To much liability involved these days and you know it.

Solutions are these maybe.

1. In every county in the USA being delivered too, I ask why not create a safe secure easy pick up "Amazon location", otherwise using a chosen location that can be operated by a retired citizen maybe ?? Think about it..... .. Send out surveyors to get localized input for an abandoned building that can easily be opened back up as a pick up point for the surrounding county to travel to in order to pick up their orders maybe ???

The list of solutions are long, and can correct a flawed model IMHO.

2. Find a would be participating business that would want too allow pick up at their location for a small fee in order to assist in the safety of your employee's by recognizing the dangers in young or old employee driver's delivering packages to personal properties that put their very lives at risk of injury or even death. Plenty of local businesses that would participate for a small fee or even no fee all depending on the business and it's ownership wanting to help out.

3. Scale back on delivery vehicles and driver's by opening locations that would suit your standards and needs to get packages delivered to secure and safe locations within 50 miles or closer (depending on the ideas above chosen), in order to stop the dangerous risk your employee's are subjected too, otherwise risk that are elevated by an idea of convenience that everyone in a community doesn't deserve.

What are your idea's board ? Thanks
 
Just to note, these issues have been an issue for postal employee's for decades.

LOL...That's why there are delivery no-go zones. Pizza places figured out that shit years ago.

The no-go zip codes: Why delivery apps are flagging these US neighborhoods​


In 2025, the "convenience economy" is hitting a digital wall. Gig-economy giants like DoorDash, UberEats, and Amazon are increasingly using Geofencing to "blackout" specific city blocks. While companies cite "worker safety," critics argue this algorithmic redlining is creating "delivery deserts." Driven by a 21% year-over-year increase in assaults on delivery drivers nationwide, apps are now officially flagging certain zip codes as "Undeliverable" after sundown.

I didn't say anything about pizza delivery.

I don't think Amazon has any responsibility to enter a fenced yard.
 
Then the USPS needs to figure it out but we all know the USPS takes a while to come to the same conclusions as private businesses do.
we didnt have areas,if someone has a dangerous dog that address gets flagged,but we still delivered in the surrounding houses...
 
I think they would lose a lot of business because a large part of the appeal of ordering from Amazon is that it’s delivered right to your door.

Plus the cost of implementing and maintaining such a program is prohibitive, especially on top of all the business they’d lose

The issue is the post office complaining they are going broke while Amazon got massive discounts.

when they started the PO was just about delivering everything for them....and that sucked because our trucks were not made with parcels in mind....

Hell, I delivered pizza back in the day and you had to keep your head on a swivel. I got nipped one time, under the arm, would have been far worse if I hadn't reacted so quickly. Got back and the manager saw the torn uniform and literally flipped shit. He called the house and lit that dude up, threatened legal action and banned as a customer.
 
Unless I know I have something being delivered from the post office, I might go weeks without checking my mailbox.

Unless you’re getting a package delivered or are expecting some official letter for some reason, who even gets mail anymore?
