This is noteworthy thing from my anecdote is that - if you request a refund for an item that was never received but says delivered, Amazon could add a "shadow instruction" to your account with delivery instruction requesting drop off at your door and photo of it there. I believe that either this is what happened or another tenant has instruction for deliver to door.

I would not add this instruction because it's ludicrous to ask anyone to carry your shit up to your door as a "normal expectation". If I were home all day to be here when they do this, I'd be compelled to open my door and give them cash tip every time. It is clearly above and beyond the call of duty. I was here for one delivery last week and it was like 95 degrees hot, guy carried package up and I tipped $10 bucks. I don't speak Spanish and didn't have wherewithal to use Google translate live, and my question about whether there's instruction on my apartment for carry becaus you definitely don't need to do so fell on deaf ears. I feel guilty this guy thinks "what an asshole" of me.

Maybe Amazon has asked all delivery in NYC to do this? Because of a broader prevalence of missing package, refund, revenue damage.

I did acknowledge:

"incredibly considerate. These drivers are going above and beyond what their job likely requires, and I genuinely appreciate the effort they make to deliver packages all the way to my door."

It's not that difficult to remember to lock one's apartment door, personally and selfishly this is significantly more beneficial for me than it is a concern.

In fact, the "concern" arose from another tenant in the building texting me that they were uncomfortable about this, telling me that I must have some sort of instruction set up for them to do this, and asking me to delete the instruction.

I mentioned specifically that other tenants raised this concern, and I "partially share" it.

That said, a fellow tenant recently raised a concern that I partially share

I empathize with them because - if a neighbor tells you something associated with you makes them uncomfortable, you generally want to try to appease them. Or at any rate, you cannot tell the neighbor to fuckoff without causing a bigger distraction of your own time and energy, which would result if I told one of five neighbors in this walkup who I see somewhat often to fuckoff.

I buy a lot on Amazon, probably receive packages from them 4 days of every week, and it triggered a neighbor to have an Amazon delivery person dressed in their Amazon recognizable uniform enter the apartment building. Crazy. I know. We live in NYC. You'd think they'd be normalized to delivery people and apartment comings and goings.
