Can we choose which driver to get ? Some of the drivers keep dropping my package at neighbor while some drop right outside my door.
Yes. Thank the driver that delivers your item properly and don't thank the driver that incorrectly delivers your item.

Can I also tip people at the Amazon warehouse so they don't put items that are easy to damage in a brown paper bag that allows the contents to be crushed & bursts open before it reaches me? Or so they don't put books or movies in a box with nothing to secure them so they arrive with bent corners, dents, scratches, plastic fragments rattling around inside the case...?

Thanks. All I said was "Hey Alexa, thank my driver"! Then she responded telling me she was glad I enjoyed my most recent delivery and since I showed my appreciation for my driver, they would make an extra $5 tip with no cost to me.

I'm with you on this! I greatly despise those brown paper bags over the boxes or even padded plastic envelops.

I used to sell stuff on eBay & Amazon and enjoyed packing things properly so they'd reach my customer in the same condition in which I sent it. If I got any negative feedback I'd be in trouble. I wish the Amazon warehouse workers I deal with had the same incentive.

One time I received a blu-ray set that looked like it'd been used in a game of kickball. The plastic was ripped, it was dirty, it was dented to the point where the spine was torn, yet the padded envelope was fine. And I'm not kidding -- there was a little bit of grass inside the envelope.

Maths: 7.5 million if each of the 1.5 million employees gets it.
(This includes corporate folks who don't need the 5 bucks).
That's 0.00306% of the head honchos wealth.
If you had one million dollars, that would be 30 bucks ( or 2 HDMI Cables lol)
you are paying wayyy too much for HDMI cables

i appreciate their hard work, but some of them need to park their delivery trucks properly (not parking on the streets, blocking traffic)
Nah, parking stupidly is what they do. Blind mountain turns on the wrong side of the road, blocking the road by parking in the middle, running out in traffic w/o looking. Good times.

I thought the promotion would apply to my most recent delivery made by an Amazon driver. However my last Amazon delivery was completed by UPS. I tried this and it went to the UPS delivered order. Anyone know if non-Amazon drivers get anything out of this?

No Amazon already doesn't want to pay UPS and constantly tries to get around paying us. It's why Fedex dropped amazon for a while and why UPS claims they're going to reduce amazon volume. However since amazon doesn't touch over 70s I doubt amazon is going to get rid of UPS anytime soon if they can help it. The amount of returns UPS handles for amazon is mind boggling. Works for me I guess, more hours. However messing with 150lb boxes that are falling a part sucks lol

Should I thank the drivers who consistently speed past my house to deliver on a private road? Numerous complaints to Amazon with their drivers throwing up gravel and debris adding dings and paint chips to my new vehicles? We got lucky so far that none of these Amazon trucks/personal vehicles haven't hit one of us or run over one of our family animals. Sorry, I will NOT be thanking the drivers. Apparently, they cannot read English or ignore the signs posted to slow down for children and pets. Amazon has yet to correct this issue and it's been going on since the warehouse opened up in my area for over five years now.

Just this week I've had a package left in the driveway in a puddle when a dry alternative right nearby was available.
Then I had another box marked as delivered when it didn't come.

I think I'll pass on the tip.

I highly doubt Amazon actually gives them the money. It's all just a gimmick

Click the link someone before you posted. It worked for me. I didn't have to use Alexa.

They are trying to make buyers get used to tipping delivery people similar to how tipping was introduced for uber/lyft.
