OT: Amazon today...it arrived, anyway.

When we get parcels chucked over the gate, it is in full view from the road but not visible from the house. The gate is only hip height and has more hole than wood (it's an improvised 3-bar gate).

That is not very useful, even the opposite of what you want. When I got the message today, I looked for a photo of the delivery, but I couldn't find one. So I went out the back door, checked the little gas bottle lean-to where Steve the Postman knows to leave items, then the corner of the building where I had found a package once but had no message to tell me it was there, and then walked towards the gate and found it. I must check my CCTV and see how well it was treated as it was thrown/dropped to its destination. It was a plastic bottle, so no damage.

I've had two deliveries by Evri with a link to a photo. Neither were of my house or front door, or showed that the package was left down the drive and no message was left saying the package had been left. I noted this in my report (which no doubt nobody at Evri reads or takes note of unless it's 5 stars). :-(

I reviewed the footage, and I am impressed with the care that the driver exhibited, he very carefully got the package as low to the ground as he could before dropping it onto a grassy patch. Full marks!!
