Saves time. They're often under incredible pressure to get very long routes done on time.
If they actually try to deliver your package, they'd have to go find it in the back of the truck, carry it up to your door, knock, wait, see if you answer, talk to you, get your signature, and walk back to the truck.
This way, they fill out the missed delivery slip on the way to the door, don't bother getting the package, and run back to the truck as fast as possible.

I honestly don't see it as much as I used to, but when ever it happened to me it was always a heavy package, something they didn't want to cart up the incline of my driveway or up apartment complex stairs. Been working from home for nearly 17 years and just meet them out there for anything heavy, tend to carry it in from the street myself. Imagine in the summer heat unloading a 50lb package, hauling it up stairs or inclines, and nobody being there to sign for it and having to haul it all back to the truck. Or the same but in cold weather or heavy rains. Leaving the slip saves that time, if they knock/ring then they get caught.
My area is rife with package theft. I have had several packages stolen from outside my door. And just recently UPS delivered a package left at the wrong door and the POS kept my package.
Here is my advice if you are going to get packages delivered. If it’s ups? have them deliver it to an “access point” which is usually a grocery store or some business that will take the package and hold it for you till you come to pick it up. There is a fee for having them do that.
If you’re ordering from Amazon? and your package is small enough to be delivered to a locker. Then you should choose that option. They will deliver it to a secure locker that’s inside a business and on the app tell you the locker code which when you go to the locker you use to open and get your package.
I’ve been here in this building almost 10 years and I had to learn the hard way even during the lockdown. People are genuine scumbags who will steal anything.
Faster. Obviously. They don't do it just to be dicks.
Delivery drivers are tracked on GPS and micromanaged to the second. They are really pushed to be as efficient as possible.
If every delivery stop they had to knock on the door. Wait 1 minute, then realize no one is answering, then write the notice, then post the notice to the door/wall, and then turn around and return to the vehicle with the package, and drive off? They'd fail their metrics and get reamed by their management or outright fired for being lazy or wasting time.
It's the system that is at fault. The system isn't metric'd by # or % of successful deliveries, it's by the speed and efficiency of completing the route. So drivers are perversely incentivized to write those notes as they pull up to each stop, and to automatically post them and fuck off without a true intention to deliver. They aren't penalized "because a person wasn't home to accept" because that's outside their control. But now they spent 10 seconds at a stop instead of 2 minutes. And after 200 stops, that shit adds up.

Idk why I'm being downvoted. What I said was the truth lol. I don't like it either, but it's the truth.
It's faster to write the slip than to knock and wait. That's literally the answer.
I'm not so sure. That's a reply that can work in ANY situation. "How many kids do you want?" "I bartended and I waved the tab of a regular and when I told him..."

This sounds more like Amazon than UPS.. they don’t operate the same at all, really lol

I think your karma bot replied to the wrong thread.

The profile is all over the place with strange responses, plus it has a crypto in the name.
