How to make Amazon deliveries even worse
Environmental groups are pushing Amazon to deliver even more packages
in their original packaging, so that additional packaging isn't
needed. There's just one enormous problem with that. In many areas
porch package thefts are a tremendous problem. This will almost
certainly make it worse since it makes targeting of high ticket items
easier. Also, the original packaging of many items is designed for
bulk transport in the shipping chain to stores or warehouses, not for
the rigors of last mile delivery. Even more damaged deliveries seem
certain. And with Amazon's return operations seemingly swamped with
returns these days, this is all likely to get much worse. -L
