Sounds like Lasership in the USA. Non-uniformed people driving the most beat-up, random private vehicles possible, with a "LS" decal slapped on the side. Seems Amazon doesn't want to pay for decent people. They don't even bother to ring the bell when leaving a package on the porch.

That said, I'm not sure they are worse than USPS and UPS, both of whom have left packages outside in the rain in the middle of the driveway without ringing the bell.

I have to say, never had a problem with Lasership. They actually come up to my door, ring the bell, and move on. Never lost a package or anything like I have with FedEx / UPS. And the USPS stopped ringing my door bell a long time ago. Just comes up drops it by the door and leaves. So they seem to be the best in my area, despite them all driving around in their personal vehicles and no uniforms.

I haven't had a doorbell ring or knock at the door by UPS in probably 3-4 years. I get that they're too busy to wait for everyone to come to the door, but you'd think they could at least knock.
