    Once I got food delivered and it was all fucked up. Like not sealed and everything spilled all over everything else. Like soup soaking the ribs.

    They asked for proof that it was in the garbage to make sure will not eat it.

    I wasn’t going to anyway, but just to be an add I put it in a fresh trash bag and sent the picture.

    I’d already sent a picture of how destroyed the meal was when it was delivered.

      It’s just an attempt to put the requirement for action back on you. They’re hoping you’ll get busy and forget about it, or not have a camera, or anything else that’ll stop the claim.

    TNT here in the UK sent me a picture of someone else’s driveway. I know several ex Amazon delivery guys who said other couriers used to keep a store of random driveway photos on their phone if they were nicking the parcel. Deliveries were GPS tagged so they’d turn up, open the app and enter the photo and then just drive on

      • Basically the bosses at courier companies dont (and probably cant) check that the photo corresponds with the address. These drivers actively look for doorbell cameras and cctv too. If there is surveillance they’re less likely to steal.

          Man, I shouldn’t have even fixed my doorbell cam when it broke. It sounds like it’s basically a deterrent.

          It probably takes 15 seconds to put the address into street view and have a look around. Shouldn’t be too dificult to validate the photo. Not sure if there are any privacy policies preventing that, but I doubt it.

      I’ve had evri multiple times deliver to someone else’s house absolutely nowhere near the address they were given and have had to go looking for it

      First time couldn’t even find the door and the people never attempted to give it to us

      Fortunately the company sent a new one but still
