Zone1 Amazon needs help, but ????

[beagle9]

I didn't say anything about pizza delivery.

Same thing.. All include door to door delivery services. The only thing different is food has to be delivered door to door if companies allow such service's.

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.....

Amazon driver attacked while making delivery, sheriff’s office says

According to police, an Amazon delivery driver was robbed while on the job.

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

Amazon already has local delivery options (in some areas).

You can opt for the package to be delivered to Whole Foods. It will be delivered there and placed in a locker. You will get an email with a code for the locker, swing by and pick it up.

I don't think Amazon has any responsibility to enter a fenced yard.

Just walking into any yard that is not known about, is walking into extreme danger. It's like playing the lottery, only the chances of winning a prize not wanted is a thousand times greater than it being a false alarm. I guarantee you these driver's aren't making enough to take on such risk in a daily job.

That's funny, does Amazon put out such information to it's customer's ? Does this type of thing exist in every state ??

 

[pknopp]

Why do you think that walking postal service's delivered to the doorstep of a residence stopped ?

I never did so.....and it hasn't so........

 

[beagle9]

Just goes to show, in the Land of the Free, her gun didn't save her.

I bet she wished she had a gun that day. She could have at the least during the struggle pulled it and shot the damned dog.

It was discontinued in large part due to communities falling, and therefore becoming to dangerous for such services to continue in those communities.

Information is available online. IIRC I've seen it as an option when placing orders.

Did an Amazon rep personally call us and say "Hey WW, did you know you can have packages delivered at Whole Foods"? No.

But it is convientent if you have a high value delivery and want to keep it out of the hands of Pourch Pirates.

Does this type of thing exist in every state ??

No, they are not located in 6 states.

However even if the state has one, driving distances will of course be a factor.

The government will always be 50 years behind the private sector

In some cases yes, but in this case the government may have learned it's lesson way before the wild eyed Jeff Bezos ignored the lessons learned, and therefore wanted to walk right back into the danger zone with his idea of delivering product's door to door without regards to the dangers involved.

Well it looks like these thing's in view of serious safety concerns needs to be figured out.

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?

you would be surprised at how many companies get sacks of 1st class...

i worked there 33 years and if i had to go to the door,i went to the door and they still do today...

Guarantee you the risk have increased monumentally over the year's, and especially in the area's of concern. Watch out for those safety issue's.. It's not like they aren't broadcasted for we the citizens to see the tragic results of the various situations.

Year's back I read something where a pizza delivery guy was shot and robbed for the few bucks he had on him. He died I think in the report. How sick is that chit ?

most regular mail carriers know the neighborhoods they deliver in better then most who live there...

 

[martybegan]

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.

Good manager.

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.

Let us old folk deliver to these zones. Easy easy easy.

For what Amazon workers get paid it's a pittance. Nothing.
