Just got a "Next Day" Prime order, it's going 3 blocks from my house. I know, but I'm going to ask anyway?
Is it possible to just drop it off? I imagine it will be a nightmare communicating that to all the other parties, but seriously, I could just put it in their mailbox on my way to dinner in a couple hours. Anyone had anything like this before?
Oct update: If anyone cares, this is what happened. She filed a return claiming the item was defective. She sent it back. Now I saw the track number activate as “USPS picked up item” and I figured, she’s my neighbor! I’ll just refund her now. Well, an hour later, the package went “Return to sender” so apparently she chased the postman down and got the item back. Yikes. Lesson learned.

What will you do if you possibly get an INR? It is a little hard to provide a shipping confirmation if you are not a courier/carrier.

What proof do you have that you dropped it off?
Are your metrics and risk of loss of SFP worth that 3 block trip?

You will not have a scan, nor valid tracking. And will be jeopardizing eligibility.
You could, pass it onto the postal carrier(considering they’re going, and not coming from that direction), have them scan it in, and have it delivered. Avoid the PO altogether.

NO. That is a not needed situation that is going against sellers agreement and why? To save a buck on the wrong platform…

it would not be worth the risk and also lowering your metrics…and also it is a little strange from the customer point of view.

Technically it’s against the law to leave something in their mailbox … but dang. And on Saturday no less … LOL
There’s policy about confirming shipping
There’s policy about tracking %'s
There’s a list of Amazon acknowledged shippers
I know of no policy that sates you “Can Not” deliver it yourself.
- Policies and agreements
- Prohibited seller activities and actions
- Selling Policies and Seller Code of Conduct
Bottom line … for me anyway … is what does the buyer want ?

Most people would not be to happy with some internet stranger dropping by their house. As far as Amazon goes they don’t want you calling a buyer so how do you think they would feel about you knocking on one’s door? Hand deliveries are just not a good idea.

Oh, for Heaven’s sake, drop it off and get to know your neighbor. . .

There is no “Shipment Confirmation” on Prime orders so you have no option to input your tracking number. Save yourself, ship it and let a carrier scan and deliver it. Thanks

Other than Oneida pointing out the fact, it is illegal, to drop items in a mail receptacle, without postage, the buyer may not like the idea of you, showing up on their doorstep. It’s plain creepy.
Ship it and forget about it.
