There is a rule of thumb among connoisseurs of note communication: the more exclamation marks, the more “German” the sender is. An Amazon customer doesn’t skimp on punctuation either.
Berlin – Everyone has probably had an unpleasant experience with their parcel carriers. Whether the order arrived damaged, was brought to the parcel shop as “undeliverable” even though you waited at home all day, or you were clearly duped. Everything is said to have already happened. He can do that The tone can sometimes be rougher become.
A recipient was struggling with the delivery time of his Amazon courier and gave him a particularly “friendly” request on a note. With his vision, however, he seems to be alone in the field.
“Dear Amazon delivery person”: Customer leaves a “friendly” note for the parcel carrier
“Dear Amazon supplier, this is a company. “It’s closing time here at 5 p.m.,” the recipient informed the parcel delivery person in a note without periods or commas, but with plenty of exclamation points. Also with the final appeal: “Please come earlier!”. The notice was allegedly seen on Torstrasse in Berlin, as stated on the Instagram page “notesofberlin”. The channel regularly publishes strange note messages sent in by users.
The community reacts to the demand with incomprehension and even malice. “Clear exclamation mark index: the more, the more German,” one user mocks the spelling, for example. There are many pieces of paper on the Internet that make extensive use of the punctuation mark. For example, on that of a resident of the house, who gives his neighbor a “final warning”..

Users react scornfully to extra requests: “I just spoke to Jeff Bezos on the phone”
A number of users are empathetic towards the parcel carrier. “The supplier would also like to finish work at 5 p.m.,” one person reprimands the person writing the note. Another says cynically: “It’s safe to assume that the parcel delivery person likes to work until 8-9 p.m. to annoy your company and especially you.”

This snappy user, however, goes one better: “I just spoke to Jeff Bezos on the phone and let them know. All Amazon suppliers are now changing their schedules for you. Otherwise, feel free to write to him directly. He is happy to take time to address your concerns.”
Another person, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to speak so well of his parcel delivery person either: “So at least there’s a small chance that it will be delivered! If the company was on the third floor, they could get away with it.” In fact, parcel carriers often leave the shipment in the yard or hallway. Unlike in Austria, where they have recently even handed over the package to the recipient in the living room if requested.

The Reddit user also says that the suppliers’ tours often start relatively late, as the delivery vehicles are loaded “in waves” between 10 and 11 a.m. In the case of an eight-hour shift, delivery can sometimes take place in the evening. However, this cannot be achieved in the allotted time. The tours are “completely unrealistic”.
With a workload of 170 to 245 packages per shift, a break is out of the question. In purely mathematical terms, he had less than three or two minutes left per package in an eight-hour shift. Most of the time he worked well beyond regular working hours. The anonymous user’s information has not been officially confirmed. (rku)
