I mostly order from DDD. My old mail carriers would leave a yellow slip in my mailbox if (as usual) I wasn't home. (I live in an apartment building - no doorman). I'd walk a couple of blocks to the post office the next day and get my package -- wonderful, compared to UPS (if anyone has had to get something from their Manhattan office, you know what I mean).
Now we seem to have a new mail carrier who drops of packages in front of my building's locked door, and can't ever be bothered to leave yellow slip instead.
Result -- they get stolen constantly. (3 DDD packages went missing during the 20% off sale. DDD came through and replaced all of them).
My GF complained to the manager at the local branch -- certain things improved (we haven't been getting half of the neighbor's mail dumped in our box) -- but still no yellow slips.
I have started giving my work address, and severely curtailed my orders, but it the long run I'll probably need to look into renting a box.
Very sad -- after years without a single lost package, my local post office goes down the drain...
