        It could limit it to a certain number per driver or something? Who knows. It’s not transparent (on purpose) so we probably can’t know what’s going on.

        This happened to my bestie just now when I screencapped that it had worked for me and told him about it.

        I wonder what the difference is? Maybe its regional?

        Edit: He figured his out. He placed the order through Amazon but it was delivered via USPS. Maybe that’s the issue?

          Hmm, I don’t know. The last purchase was a book my mom bought, it’s possible that’s the issue. I’ll try again next time we order something to make sure.
          Thanks!

      Nah, most recent one didn’t follow delivery instructions. Too bad you can’t pick, all the others have deserved it.

      Edit: woo, good news, my last delivery before my prime “trial” expired and I stop using Amazon again, the driver managed to push the large face-height Amazon brand doorbell (didn’t install it) and earned their $5 reward.

      Amusingly I got more downvoters for giving the money than not, lol

        Lmao I feel you but you never know what the other person’s day is like. We order from them while coming on here and cheering for their fair wages. We gotta have empathy that their lives suck in the micro, if we can see the socioeconomic component in the macro.

        (Also, do it after your next order if you really want to withhold)

        I’ve angrily thought “I want my ten dollar fucking tip back from this piece of shit” than shutup, ate my cold or incorrect meal, thought over it without being hangry and realized the evening is still worse for them.

          My delivery instruction is “ring the doorbell” (so I know to come downstairs and grab it off the major street before it’s stolen)

          Yes, my post was a trap for people like you.

            Maybe you should try altering it to say “Please, ring my doorbell so I know to come downstairs and grab it before it’s stolen.”

            The delivery app that drivers use often simply says “ring the doorbell” as a default but then also in the same area says “no need to knock / ring bell” so being more explicit in your instructions may improve your results.
