Just expediting the product lifecycle.

When Amazon starts a garbage collection division "Amazon Waste & Dispose" we'll know there's a conspiracy!
-
-
How was your delivery?
Rubbish!
-
It just looks so sad there. Poor envelope.
-
The best part was that I just opened the package, took out the item, and left the envelop there. Efficient recycling!

Exact same thing happened to a friend of mine a few months ago. Guess who took his package while he was at work? That's right, the garbage men.
-
I mean, I'd just take the contents and ask Amazon where the package is.

Yeah Amazon drivers are usually required to upload a photo, so if it’s a photo of it in the trash OP can just say “but today was trash day, when I got home my trash was empty”

I guess a porch pirate isn’t gonna look in the bin, and if they did, it does look like recycling
So I guess that’s something?
-
Fortunately remote enough not to have to worry about porch pirates. But maybe that's what the driver was thinking

Wow, it actually goes as deep as fckfckfckfckfckoatly.com. Lol

Hey Kieth, did you spend our entire marketing budget registering web domains?

Da fuck? Are you literally advertising for oatly right now?

Ah, you got me. Luckily I know a website you might like...

Literally just today I watched out the window as an Amazon driver put an extremely expensive keyboard I just ordered in the bin.
The distance between the bin and the front door is about two extra steps. It probably took more effort to lift the lid and put it in the bin then it would have to rig the bell.

amazon ad remove

The unfolded oatley box makes me angry 😡
Fold / rip your damn boxes before you put it in the recycle bin. Otherwise, you lose so much space in there!
-
Ha it's a shared bin (which I just realised makes the delivery even more risky).
Standing in the bin and jumping up and down is a good strategy to compact at a later date. Otherwise, the hydraulic press of the bin lorry can handle it :)

not so great

You know this is fake because there’s more than 5 pixels in the picture taken.

On a side not. Is it just me or does Amazon never follow the delivery instructions?
My instructions were "On the porch or under the shelter by the bins"
when the company as allocated at most 5 seconds per delivery and you've already spent 3, reading instructions is not going to happen. Gotta go fast
The courier: Let's see... "on the porch or ... bins". Bin it is!
Package is now sheltered by the bins, so to speak.
Not to be pedantic, but under shelter by the bins could be interpreted as the bins provided shelter to your delivery.
Amazon drivers mostly follow my directions. I find that they usually only ever snap a pic if they did.
Not just Amazon. I had a parcel being delivered by DPD while I was on holidays. I checked the delivery's webpage, which said "if you're not in, we'll leave it with your neighbour". Great!
While I was on holiday, I checked the status on the day of delivery: "you weren't in, we returned it to DPD depot". Somewhat annoying, but the depot is only 15 minute drive from mine, I can go collect it then I'm back home.
Checked it again when I got back home: "returned to sender".
The fun thing was that the item was the modem from my new internet provider, and my old provider was ceasing their services that very day.
Where I live Amazon has started a new thing where expensive items have a one time password needed at the time of delivery. So basically unless you are available at the exact right moment and the delivery driver isn't an idiot, you are going to have issues. I live in a building with a concierge which you'd think would be helpful, but they actually seem to try actively to be unhelpful.
Can't see that lasting long...
I think it has something to do with crime rates. Due to a very weird way in which the police report crimes any crime that they don't have the exact location for, they just default to the police station which is just down the road from me so as a result my area is apparently extremely high in crime (it isn't). I think Amazon do it based on whether or not they think people are going to steal the package and they figure a high crime area is an area where package theft is common.
