    My neighbor across the street is a Ring camera pointed right at my house, so Amazon doesn’t need a vehicle driving by.

    When I get packages delivered by any courier company they take a photo of the package at the door and the front of the house as proof. How is this new? And yes, use the lockers if available for Amazon deliveries or use your work address I guess.

    Do people not realize you can get pretty much everything you can get on Amazon on eBay and frequently for cheaper or without the “You have to buy $35 worth of stuff to get free shipping” clause? Or same with Costco for a lot of stuff for that matter.

    Just make a conscious choice not to feed the troll.

        I don’t shop at target. Your lack of standards doesn’t make me better than you, it makes you worse than me.

      Except when you buy something in Amazon. Your can see your home also for sure in Google Street View, same as you are even in YT and webs with open life cams

      Surveillance is big business for big corps, they put it even in your home and your pocket (Alexa, Siri, GPS, smart TV, smartwatches, smartphones, credit cards, discounter apps…). Only leaving your home, going to the shop, in every city you are at least in half a dozend cams. Privacy nowadays is an illusion.

          I’ve ordered items from eBay just to have them arrive at my house in Amazon packaging, delivered by an Amazon driver.

            I’ve started checking how they claim they’re shipping. If it says 2-4 days but doesn’t list the method, I avoid it. Also, always check the seller before purchase. I’ve noticed a lot of Israeli accounts on eBay, mostly shipping from New Jersey.
