DHL just "attempted delivery" without knocking or ringing the doorbell.

Yeah, we had that problem too, except the bastard hit my dog. I was just coming back to teh door to let my dog in. I hear the dog whine and then a thud. I look out and see the package rolling down our front stairs and my dog huddled in the corner and the UPS guy speeding off. I was so pissed off. I had no proof that he hit my dog...but I called in and said the driver threw my package and the contents were damaged. (Many pills for my grandpa's perscription in the box were broken). When the man came back, he delivered the packagea week or so later and said something sarcastic at me about my dog...I thought I was going kill him.

That basturd! Chances are he was aiming for the dog. Is there some hx between your dog and delivery people?

I was home the for the whole day waiting for my package, I know the delivery person comes around 5:30PM. so I was waiting till 5:30PM, after that I decided to check my online status, and I got shocked when It says Delivery attempted; recipient not home, my surveillance camera does not show any DHL person have came to my house, so i am wondering how that happen, the DHL person did not knock the door, did not ring the bell, and did not leave a yellow tag, I called the customer service and I received many apologies and told me my package going to be delivered to you tomorrow. so now I have to take another day off of work and wait home for my order. PLUS I have to pay 250$ duties and taxes. I contacted the company [who sent me the package] and they said you are not asked to pay duties for us, and the DHL customer service said the duties are for the customs. can you please explain to me how that happened?

:thumbsdown: DHL

Well, it was 5:15pm so the driver probably wanted to GTFO. Lol, they're assholes sometimes.

Had a bozo of a UPS driver drop a package off outside my front door, while I was home, with no knock or ringing of the bell. I didn't even hear him walk up and drop the package, which was a pretty sizable box, with a Coleman cooler in it!
I only discovered it the next morning, when I went to work. So I hauled it inside, went to work, and called UPS to complain, later on. Got a call that day, from the local supervisor, apologizing. I told them it wasn't my intention to get anyone in trouble, it's just a courtesy thing, ya know?
Later that day, the SAME driver stops by my house to deliver another package, and I meet him at the door, after he banged on it (pretty loudly). As he hands me my package, he asks, "Hey, did you call and complain about me?", to which I told him that it was because he had delivered and not knocked or rang the doorbell the previous day.
Bozo then proceeds to tell me, "Well, you'd better be home for any other deliveries I make here, or I'll leave you a notice, 3 days in a row, then send the package back!" Wow. Really?? Um, dumbass, I've got your supervisor's phone number!
As soon as he left, I called the supervisor back, and told them what had just happened. They couldn't believe it! I told them that I didn't want to see that guy delivering in my neighborhood again, or the complaint would be escalated.
I now have a new driver. He still leaves packages at the door, even if they're marked as requiring a signature, but at least he rings or knocks. :thumbsup:

yeah ive had UPS not knock and just leave it anywhere. kind of annoying, im always home

I appreciate them not knocking. Sometimes the baby is asleep or I'm masturbating. I however know that when I'm expecting a package I open my door and check for it.

Are you ever masturbating in expectation of the UPS guy's package?

Anyway, everybody should have a video camera at least on their front door. These days there's just no excuse not to. The technology is cheap and reliable. Get a dropcam.com and just be done with it.
