Oh, come on....after hundreds of miles, another couple of inches is just WAaaaaaY to much to ask for.

The FedEx driver for me barely puts it on the edge of my porch, exposed to rain, etc. They could so easily slide it another foot or two to get out of the weather. My USPS delivery person leaves it out in front of my garage instead of waking another 10 feet to the front porch. SMH.
Luckily I work from home so I can usually go grab it quickly, if I get a delivery notification.

Eh, I had a Home Depot order that was on a pallet, shipped to my house a couple of years back. They delivered it literally right at my wife's garage door. No notification. No nothing. She started backing out and heard a "crunch", as she was backing out.
Turns out, she was backing the Tahoe right onto the delivery.
Luckily, she was aware and discovered this quickly, but it could have been disastrous if she was in a hurry. Who does that? Freakin' idiots....our driveway has enough room to park at least 15 cars.....and ya' gotta deliver it right THERE?

I remember 20 years ago, when they would at least ring the doorbell before running away.

Not sure about your area, but we have a dedicated driver that delivers nearly all of our mail (unless he is on vacation/off).
I learned from my dad when I was a teenager to always tip your USPS driver and garbage drivers right before Christmas.
We take it a step further, if we happen to be outside, we grab them a can of seltzer and bag of chips for the road.
Our garbage drivers take a bunch of stuff that they don't have to (too big/too heavy/we have extra bags outside the container). USPS driver always leaves our stuff in a safe and dry spot on the porch...
These guys don't forget who is nice to them, and I'm not above bribery.

Things are different in my area. The PO has changed out the delivery location 3 times in 4 years. Nothing goes through my local zip code's PO anymore. It comes out of a major distribution center in Atlanta. The time of day and driver varies greatly from day to day, week to week.
Also, for the garbage service here, it is private, I pay them dearly for what they take (which is nothing other than bagged garbage and cardboard). They took some small car parts (boxed, inside the rolling can), and left them by the curb. I have to take anything out of the ordinary to the dump or recycler myself.

I used to know FedEx guys. Worked from home and had a lot of deliveries
and pickups. Where I'm at right now I never see the same guy twice for
anything. Even the mail people rotate around. Usually they don't ring, just
drop and run."The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." --Thomas Jefferson -
Perhaps the delivery guy is new to the US and is from Australia. It's right side up down there.
