even the name is too much imo, when i delivered pizza some places had their system like this, i don't like strangers knowing that. it's too personal.

the picture is really, really too far. only the most utter HOA boomer could even potentially spin needing to know that. and you can of course imagine the issues with it.

Pretty sure Amazon is contracting outside delivery drivers and that would be the profile for the driver with that service. You sometimes see people in plain clothes and a regular car delivering packages here.

All Amazon drivers are contracted. The Prime drivers you see are working for Amazon DSPs. The ones in their own cars are doing the same thing without the middle man- less packages, better pay, but no guarantees and no benefits provided.

Amazon-provided vehicles also come with branded piss bottles so that’s something

This has been a thing for many years. In my area, it's literally the only way the packages get delivered. They don't even use UPS or FedEx anymore, besides maybe in very niche scenarios.
