Driver release in any and all possible situations. If I can DR a pkg, I'll only give the customer the amount of time it takes me to walk up to the house to answer the door. Most of the time I've already hit stop complete when I'm halfway up the driveway, especially with letter envelopes. With small pkgs, determine where your going to DR on your way to the customer's door, dump the pkg in the mailbox, between the doors, etc., ring the doorbell and leave. Waiting for a customer to answer the door when you don't need a signature is pointless and only waists valuable time.
I suggest you not use mailboxes, at least not the ones the mailman delivers to. It is a federal offense to open anyone's mailbox. I had a vacation driver work in my area who put small packages in mailboxes and the mailman really reamed me about it, said he would report it the next time it happened. It uses up the room in the box, so they can't get the mail in, it does not make them happy and you do not want to be reported.
I I have a lot of college housing on my area and these kids often don't bother to put apt. #s on their pkgs so I have to play detective to figure out the apt number.
Ouch. 30 days of qualifying. Have fun with walking on egg shells.
You are a nicer person than I am. That would be Need Apt.# and I'll try again tomorrow.
