I have Amazon Prime and do a good bit of my shopping online, so I get lots of deliveries. Just after my previous post I timed another UPS delivery....he put down the package, rang the bell, and was on and off the front porch in 3 seconds. As far as security goes, I have the added advantage that my cameras will show the truck parked in the street. Probably not a lot of fake UPS deliverymen driving around in UPS trucks --though this past Christmas UPS did have contractors making deliveries.chasfm11 wrote:....unless the delivery requires a signature. I've had a couple of those in the past few months. One of them was when my Sig was coming back from the factory.VMI77 wrote:The fact that he was standing at the door when I got there would arouse my suspicions --at least with UPS. Between the time the doorbell rings and the time I get to the door, a real UPS driver is long gone. Since installing cameras, I've timed their deliveries.....they average about 20 seconds from the time they exit the truck until they're climbing back aboard. When they hit the door bell they're already on the way back. Longest time yet on the front porch is about 5 seconds.
I usually see my UPS driver coming and already know that something I ordered is out for delivery that day. Unless a BG is tied into the UPS logs, it would be hard for anyone else to know that I was getting that delivery. The fact that the UPS guy and I know each other because of the rashes of Amazon boxes that I get makes it easier, too. With anyone else, I'm a lot more cautious.
