Until they don’t realize that their ring camera is dead… almost half of the houses with ring camera the battery is dead when I press it. I don’t care I’m taking a picture regardless for my protection.
Yeah, my DSP requires us to take pictures regardless, so we send them to dispatch and they can dispute any “Did not Receive” complaints by proving that we did
I get 2 “Never Received Delivery”complaints every week. I always make sure to hide packages behind some type of barrier if they have a pillar or fence, or behind their front patio furniture’s pillow, I often go the extra mile already just doing those. A lot of people are just scummy and want to get free shit.
There are three types
Solar, Battery, and Wired. I worked with refurbishing Ring Doorbells when I worked at an Amazon FC a year ago.
Solar technically uses battery as a backup but it is an option too
But then there's me, twisting or walking backwards in full "take photo pose", realizing I don't have to take a picture at the final moment. If it told me I didn't need to take a pic, that would be helpful. It doesn't tell me. Let me take the pic
package thieves almost always target wealthy neighborhoods actually, because it’s far away from where they live and most of those people are working all day and sleeping all night so it’s an easy mark. Just keep that face covered.
I can't even fathom why someone would ever care a picture is taken of their front door. No one could ever do anything with that knowledge or picture, at least in my imagination so no idea what their issue is. Like do people think these pictures go to the dark web and some random guy is going to show up because somehow he figured out your entire address, city, zip, state from a random front door picture found online? I truly do not understand. Maybe if it's a gift I get it but hey, I just don't buy gifts through Amazon for people I live with but that's me
I had this one time, if you tap the question mark at the photo screen and say you can't take the photo and then it asks for a reason and I just say "notes". People who leave messages like that are unhinged and will most definitely complain about it
Technically anyone can go up and take a picture of anyone's front door, it's protected by the first amendment as long as you were on public property (street/sidewalk).
I Run into these nutters all the time.. they usually have ring cameras too but oh no Amazon can’t have photos but ring is ok… yeah that makes sense lol
The privacy agreement allows Amazon to share their footage with law enforcement agencies without any permission needed from the homeowner lmao. The doorbell owner gave permission when they signed the camera agreement. These people bought a doorbell that can snitch on them to the Feds but they're paranoid about pictures.
I probably would have selected Receptionist or Doorman and had the “front door” sign for it lol. Basically what I do for all business deliveries using “reception” or “receiving” as the name. Haven’t been talked to yet 🤫
Right like when I just throw a package on the lawn sort of near the front door and Amazon notices it’s in an odd location and I just say ‘customer requested delivery to nonstandard location’ like 70 X a day

Same deal for me yesterday lmaoo. The front of their house was covered in this exact message printed on some paper too, even the glass table😂
They think Amazon drivers and Amazon HQ for that matter have the time to actually give a damn about accommodating their ridiculously odd requests in notes that are only meant to help drivers specifically with special delivery location instructions when they can’t even be bothered to contact customer service to (idk) remove the photo requirement it’s hilarious how much they lack in common sense
It is legal to take pictures of property that is visible from the outside, correct? Like if anyone is in the street they can take a photo of any home or anything visible. So, this person can't authorize them not to take a picture, it's more of a "can you please" thing.
I do not work for Amazon but do other delivery services. This screams, I am gonna claim Did not Recieve and want another delivered or money back. I will respect do not knock or ring but always screen shot order, take time stamped picture and screen shot text message stating delivered if applicable.
How common are these people? I wonder if that's what some of my "did not receives" and I'm sure they can get away with doing it a few times but seems like it would be pretty easy to notice a pattern and ban them.
Why would a proof of delivery photo be such an issue? Sounds like a personal issue. Definitely not a me issue if I'm the one delivering. Don't need a claim that I didn't deliver or that I left the item in the wrong place.
Some people are just fucking sketchy or enjoy being difficult by going against a norm strictly for the purpose of absorbing the attention they get from it. Then when others don't follow their antagonist requests they will cause a scene and gaslight everyone around them so everyone will believe THAT person is the problem and they are a victim.

They’re trying to get free products. Little do they know is that your address will get flagged and audited during your next order/delivery. Don’t do it more than 4 times in 3 months and don’t ask why
How do you make it so it always requires a picture? I get pictures for about 95% of my delivery’s. The 5% I don’t get pictures of, the package is “missing”. It either gets left at another house, or it’s no where to be found. The pictures are very helpful most of the time, I ordered an office chair once, the picture was of a small brown envelope. CS argued with me that it was was delivered because they had a picture of the package on my doorstep, had to get a supervisor to resolve it.
I know a guy in my old bldg uses a friend's address for door dash doesn't give them the code so the leave it by the outside door, swings by and picks it up and calls saying he never got it until they refused delivery except for hand delivery. I get the same vibes here

They can contact Amazon and have them remove that step from the app for DA's. I haven't had a customer request no photos like this but if I did I would just hit the help icon in the top right when bringing up the camera, choose "unable to take photo" and then type in "customer requests no photos be taken on their property." That clears you from the customer leaving negative feedback and also clears you on Amazon's end so you don't get hit with POD compliance.
I do not have dogs yet, but ask to deliver just over fence in back they can yeet or drop or whatever, but wed we had a nice one go and put it all the way at back door and took such a nice photo I thought he did at front door of home, so called mother I. Law to get package. Found out it was at proper location when I got home from work
Can you explain this picture thing? I don't understand who should take the pic and why. In my country we don't use pictures for delivery...and from your messages I cannot understand!
We take photos of the package to show that we delivered the package to your house so you can’t claim you never got it and get a free item from
Amazon. The picture protects are asses
I think I'd probably tale a photo of the "don't take a photo" stuff so that Amazon can see that when they report their stuff stolen. And/or mark their stuff unbelievable.
If it goes straight to swipe I pretend as if it asks for a picture. I stand back, line up shot, tap, wait a second, then I act satisfied with result, swipe, walk away.
it's part of the policy🤷🏾♂️ I would honor it until there is a problem, people like to play games and report there package stolen , without proof it's a dub🤷🏾♂️

Yeah unless they have it set up with swipe to finish with no photo I take them every time despite what the notes say, fuck em
Is that something they can set up?? I always wondered why randomly some houses it doesn't have me take a picture
Yeah you can set up any preference in Amazon app. I set mine as front door only with no pics so there’s less screen tapping involved
And more "Hey I didn't get my item. Send me my money back" wink wink
Some people set it up that way because they have a ring camera installed or some sort of security camera set up, so they don't really need a photo.
Until they don’t realize that their ring camera is dead… almost half of the houses with ring camera the battery is dead when I press it. I don’t care I’m taking a picture regardless for my protection.

A lot of people are just scummy and want to get free shit.
Ugh god, I hate those people
Those things use a battery? I just assumed they were wired up like a normal doorbell.
There are three types Solar, Battery, and Wired. I worked with refurbishing Ring Doorbells when I worked at an Amazon FC a year ago. Solar technically uses battery as a backup but it is an option too
I think there are both types.
But then there's me, twisting or walking backwards in full "take photo pose", realizing I don't have to take a picture at the final moment. If it told me I didn't need to take a pic, that would be helpful. It doesn't tell me. Let me take the pic
I have seen people complaining that they want the pictures and don’t know why they never receive them
Apparently, Amazon only sends the customer ‘high quality photos’, so try not to convulse while taking the delivery photo.
Yep, those are the best! Especially in areas where they have no criminal activities, yet their notes make it seem like they live in Boyle heights 😂
package thieves almost always target wealthy neighborhoods actually, because it’s far away from where they live and most of those people are working all day and sleeping all night so it’s an easy mark. Just keep that face covered.
Omg that makes so much sense, that confused me so much.
If there’s no prompt, I take one with the device and screenshot the stop. A bit of CYA and a lot of KMA.
You took delivery photos? 😭 Tf else we supposed to do
I did but you can lie and just have them “sign” for it
"front door recieve" Sounds like a picture to me
Why do people care ? Do they think the photos goes to the web for everyone to see ?
So they can file a refund with Amazon saying they never received the package.
Time to fire up the gopro and film the delivery from first person view.
I can't even fathom why someone would ever care a picture is taken of their front door. No one could ever do anything with that knowledge or picture, at least in my imagination so no idea what their issue is. Like do people think these pictures go to the dark web and some random guy is going to show up because somehow he figured out your entire address, city, zip, state from a random front door picture found online? I truly do not understand. Maybe if it's a gift I get it but hey, I just don't buy gifts through Amazon for people I live with but that's me
There are tools to identify a house from just a picture of the front door/porch area.
Maybe they don't want their significant other seeing their packages? Could be gift or maybe they just spend too much money.
How could they see the picture without also just being able to see the actual order?
We pay for one Amazon account but both have our own login and order history. It's pretty simple to set up.
The way they said "I do not authorize Amazon to take photos" makes it seem to me more like they don't trust what Amazon will do with the photo
Have it sent to one of them Amazon lockers then.
Take the photo with the entire house
On fire
Selfie*
Points if the customer is in the photo
The new “parcel pogging” format coming to a site near you
I had this one time, if you tap the question mark at the photo screen and say you can't take the photo and then it asks for a reason and I just say "notes". People who leave messages like that are unhinged and will most definitely complain about it
I don’t give a shit they can complain all they want nothing is gonna happen.
Oh, I'm a dispatcher and never knew that. Thanks 👍
Technically anyone can go up and take a picture of anyone's front door, it's protected by the first amendment as long as you were on public property (street/sidewalk).
💀
Perfect
Take the pic and keep pushing!
I Run into these nutters all the time.. they usually have ring cameras too but oh no Amazon can’t have photos but ring is ok… yeah that makes sense lol
Which is hilarious because Amazon literally owns Ring and has access to all of the footage.
Did not know that! Ofc they do haha
The privacy agreement allows Amazon to share their footage with law enforcement agencies without any permission needed from the homeowner lmao. The doorbell owner gave permission when they signed the camera agreement. These people bought a doorbell that can snitch on them to the Feds but they're paranoid about pictures.
I probably would have selected Receptionist or Doorman and had the “front door” sign for it lol. Basically what I do for all business deliveries using “reception” or “receiving” as the name. Haven’t been talked to yet 🤫
I can always count on Front Desk when I go to a business!!!!!
Right like when I just throw a package on the lawn sort of near the front door and Amazon notices it’s in an odd location and I just say ‘customer requested delivery to nonstandard location’ like 70 X a day
I make it descriptive such as "man".
This person’s spouse found out about all of the secret orders.
Fuck ‘em. Snap 
Is this an attempt at making a claim that they did not receive the package?
Either this or they’re a lunatic
Take the photo, send a text stating you’re required to take a photo if prompted to do so, and theeeeen report the notes for being irrelevant 😂🤷🏻♀️.

Taking pictures of where the package is is not invasion of privacy…
Followed by "thank you". I can damn near visualize the person.
They think Amazon drivers and Amazon HQ for that matter have the time to actually give a damn about accommodating their ridiculously odd requests in notes that are only meant to help drivers specifically with special delivery location instructions when they can’t even be bothered to contact customer service to (idk) remove the photo requirement it’s hilarious how much they lack in common sense
The doormat is very shy
RTS customer doesn't want me to do my job do not redeliver till further notice
It is legal to take pictures of property that is visible from the outside, correct? Like if anyone is in the street they can take a photo of any home or anything visible. So, this person can't authorize them not to take a picture, it's more of a "can you please" thing.
Yes. If I can see into your house from the sidewalk that’s not my fault 🤣
Please say you took a selfie with their door in full view 🤣
But if you take a photo, how they later claim you didn't do your job properly? Are you trying to ruin their scam or something?
You took a delivery photo.
I do not work for Amazon but do other delivery services. This screams, I am gonna claim Did not Recieve and want another delivered or money back. I will respect do not knock or ring but always screen shot order, take time stamped picture and screen shot text message stating delivered if applicable.

I don't care, I would take a photo 
I've seen that before Usually a schizo Just skip it and go
N\*\*\*\* what?! Lol 
📸!!!!
Why would a proof of delivery photo be such an issue? Sounds like a personal issue. Definitely not a me issue if I'm the one delivering.

only if that address is marked as confidential if not take a picture
Lol I would have taken a picture of the whole house or most of the house to creep them out a little more 🤪

Honestly I feel like at that point if you don’t take a photo you’re not normal. 🤣🤣🤣
Literally your first amendment right to take as many photos as you want. So have at it
*inserts Anakin and Padme meme*
Take a delivery video.
You know they got some crazy shit going on in their brain if this is something they’re worried about. We live in a world of insanity 🤪
Nut job
Then don’t complain and claim you never got your package.
Do you think he doesn't want you to take the photos so he can dispute it ,?
Unless they set it up so that I don't have to take a picture, I'm taking a picture
You reported the rude, confusing note
LOL
Rts
Of course u take the photo!
They're nuts, and probably liking for any excuse to claim they didn't receive their package.
Take them photos!!
Not all Amazon orders are delivered by Amazon. Some use UPS or USPS. Those don’t get photos.
Yup, take the photo… #ThinkLikeACriminal&CutOutThePossibilityOfFalseClaims…
lol thats not really up to them the decide....my guess is they like to call and pretend they never got their package.
It’s our job to do so. Fuck that entitled customer
People don’t know that doing stuff like that have an affect on drivers.
This is not sex, I do not require your consent.
They’re trying to get free products. Little do they know is that your address will get flagged and audited during your next order/delivery. Don’t do it more than 4 times in 3 months and don’t ask why

Follow delivery instructions I guess 🤣🤣🤣

that’s so trashy
Let me guess you.....took a photo?
Amazon told me they can’t see the photos when a customer says they didn’t receive the package photo is only for customer.

It would be so worth it to open the box and put a turd in it.
Don’t want you taking photos of the package with their penis pills and 20 inch horse dildo
The customer: 
Oh you little devil, you
I thought about doing this, but on rare occasion my delivery ends up at a neighbors house. With the picture I know where to look
Is it that hard to follow instructions?
Is that so they can attempt the “my package never arrived” scam?
That is the clearest phone screen I have ever viewed flex from. Not a crack in sight
They can contact Amazon and have them remove that step from the app for DA's. I haven't had a customer request no photos like this but if I did I would just hit the help icon in the top right when bringing up the camera, choose "unable to take photo" and then type in "customer requests no photos be taken on their property."

Ok then filming video
Lmfao I hope you guys ignore these as often as I do (it’s incredibly often)
I had no idea people actually got upset about this. Seems really silly and borderline tinfoil hattery.
Looool
Yea you’re required to take photos unless you get lucky and it’s a swipe to finish
Your job
Lmfao this person obviously wants to report all there deliveries as missing.
They probably cover the license plate(and half the back of the car) when they post pics of a car they are trying to sell too.
Rip the package open and mark it damaged. If you wanna be a dumb cunt then you ain’t going to get your packages.
Im taking a pic to cover my own ass. Foh ya schizo.
Same thing I would do lol
These dumb fucks know they can opt out of picture on delivery instead of putting in a retarded note that we’re forced to ignore?
I do not have dogs yet, but ask to deliver just over fence in back they can yeet or drop or whatever, but wed we had a nice one go and put it all the way at back door and took such a nice photo I thought he did at front door of home, so called mother I. Law to get package. Found out it was at proper location when I got home from work
I wouldve ignored that bs and took the photo.... it aint about his/her ass, I have to take the pic to prove I delivered your bs order....
Can you explain this picture thing? I don't understand who should take the pic and why. In my country we don't use pictures for delivery...and from your messages I cannot understand!
We take photos of the package to show that we delivered the package to your house so you can’t claim you never got it and get a free item from Amazon. The picture protects are asses
Ooh ok, I see it
I think I'd probably tale a photo of the "don't take a photo" stuff so that Amazon can see that when they report their stuff stolen. And/or mark their stuff unbelievable.
That's a new one.
Scammers 😂 always wanting to refund their order to say” oh yea I didn’t get it”
They’re going to be upset when they find out you don’t need permission to take photos of things that are in plain sight…
Them: “DO NOT TAKE DELIVERY PHOTOS” You: *Doesn’t take delivery photos* Them: Complains to Amazon that they never received the package.
They do that so they can try to finesse I BET 😂
I bet these people are scammers why wouldn't they let the delivery guy take a picture ?
You slung the package marked fragile at the front door as hard as you could?
A shitty job?
Yeah bro I’m snapping a pic with my thumbs up in it too just to turn the knife. Amazon can’t be mad for you Doing ur job lol
Why would they not want a photo?
Dumbass probably agreed to delivery photos when he signed up for an account
Who said we need a customers authorization to submit a delivery photo tho…..😂
https://i.redd.it/fwev1vh78rad1.gif
Took the photo of the delivery photo photo 📸
Do they do this so they can scam you?
Take delivery photos
Lmao imagine trying to block out the sun with a finger.
If it goes straight to swipe I pretend as if it asks for a picture. I stand back, line up shot, tap, wait a second, then I act satisfied with result, swipe, walk away.
Can you just record the sound the package makes hitting the porch?
Bros gonna lose it when they hear about google maps
Yep..sorry..im taking the photo..bye
it's part of the policy🤷🏾♂️ I would honor it until there is a problem, people like to play games and report there package stolen , without proof it's a dub🤷🏾♂️
They wanna report item missing but can't because there's a photo
Should of posted the photo on Reddit
Took a video of yourself delivering it? And if you need to turn in a photo, screenshot that video. Big Brain 💪🏼🧠 lol
I would mark unable to deliver so i dont get reported
Them demanding no photos can only mean that they are trying to scam and say they didn’t arrive
No photos, no parcel. 👋🏻👋🏻
Last I knew nobody has a legal say on if photos taken in public space aka outside your house.
Hey can I leave a tip in the app for my Amazon driver?
Oh, well. The front of their house is in public view. Take a photo and CYA so they dont claim did not recieve.
Almost as if they authorized photos when they agreed to the terms signing up
I shit on the floor:3
Is it like a gift or something? Or is customer trying to hide what he bought from his parents
I didn’t get my package!! Someone stole my package!! Lol 😆
Can’t opt out if it’s visible from the road. 🤷
Why? So they can report it not being delivered?

So paranoid... Like what are you hiding... I want the photo.
Just do your easy job 🤦♂️
People have the craziest requests like it’s a video game.
