Around me a fat early 50s guy has been our UPS guy for about 10 years. He on and off has 18-30 year old helpers. 

 

However, this time of the year, lots of attractive women deliver packages . Eye candy is so much, that I borrowed my neighbors Amazon Prime - so I can order one thing at a time. devil

 

Best has been watching these women deliver large Land Cruiser 60 parts for me...body panels.... tires.... shocks.... as these things are SO heavy

 

Great people watch

You come down my 1000' driveway at 9pm in a non-commercial vehicle and be prepared to be met by me and my BIG friend. 

Back in the late 70's in high school we "allegedly" smoked some weed and my buddy thought it was "funny" to randomly drive down some long driveways like yours and arrive at someone's house.  Once it turned out real ugly as a guy was waiting for us.

I stopped hanging out with this guy.

We don't normally use the front door, it'll remain closed for weeks. During this holiday season we open it to look for parcels every night as we head up to bed.

My ex-wife's new partner does this for Amazon and UPS.  Contract driver in her own SUV.

It kinda operates like Uber or Lyft.  They post on an app.  If you want to drive that day, you tap on a contract that says "Pittsburgh east, 38 packages, pickup 8am" or something.  You can pick and choose when you're available.  If none of the contractors picks it up, they'll find a way to stuff it on a brown truck for tomorrow.

Within the last half hour, I received a legit UPS delivery of an Amazon order from a woman in “civilian” clothes driving a dark green Jeep Wrangler.  She even announced “UPS delivery” to my Ring doorbell.  Saw her in the neighborhood yesterday and the day before with tge same Jeep, with the back end full of Amazon labeled boxes, dropping the, off at various houses.

It's legit. Amazon and ups have delivering in my neighborhood in rentals and personal cars. 

Apparently cargo vans are flying off the shelves at used car dealerships because of the demand for "gig" package delivery drivers.

My brother in law drives a brown truck but he warned us that there are a lot of sub contractors this year in personal vehicles because I am the paranoid type
