when the company as allocated at most 5 seconds per delivery and you've already spent 3, reading instructions is not going to happen. Gotta go fast

Yep, this is the essence of it.

Also keep in mind the quality massively depending on how "close" to the actual amazon delivery you are, company-wise. Is it an amazon driver doing your delivery? A contractor? That contractor's subcontractor? I think DHL once used 5 levels of subcontractors?

At some point, so much money has been skimmed off by so many managers that the driver is losing money by breathing between actions.

I'm sure it does nothing, but every time DPD/other fucks up a delivery by failing to even ring the bell and says "we missed you", I call up their customer service and waste their time complaining about the small amount of time allowed per package delivery.

I ask for drivers to be allowed more time. It's not entirely their fault (but some seemingly have no situational awareness).

That's the thing, I'm always hesitant to give negative feedback on the delivery given I know it's more than likely that the driver is both overworked and poorly paid.
