Expecting a package? Here’s what delivery drivers want you to know - Mount Desert Islander

The following delivery tip list was shared by UPS driver Lisa Hayes, who delivers to Seawall, Bass Harbor, Tremont, Bernard and sometimes Seal Cove on Mount Desert Island. She attributed it to a UPS blogger. Islander staff was unable to track down its origin, but we felt it important enough to share, since more holiday shopping is being done online this year than in previous years.

Tip 1 – Porch lights

Please leave lights on if you are expecting a package, especially after 4 p.m. It helps us find your house. Hunting for the right house when it’s raining and dark outside is a bummer.

Tip 2 – House address

Try to make it easy for us to spot your house number so we can get the package to you quickly. Reflective numbers on the house itself, numbers on both sides of the mailbox or curb numbers in reflective paint make it easier to find you.

another tip: don't expect the driver to tape your package.

Tip 14 – Oversized deliveries

If you order something big (televisions, furniture, mattresses) and it’s raining, we may not leave it. Unless you have a safe place to put it out of inclement weather, we’ll probably take it back.

No way in hell I'm bringing back an irreg during peak that isn't signature required.

It's the drivers responsibility to rid his route of COVID 19, see thru the truck walls in his loader's set to find the Misloads because the volume flow is nuts right now, and it's also his/her fault that you live in the war zone which has been dispatched to be delivered after dark.
Plz shut it.
It's that simple.
