Having your address on your curb can make a difference with the delivery of food, and packages.

Having your address on your curb can make a difference with the delivery of food, and packages. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, more people around the world have started to order food, and packages online, so that they can skip the exposure of going to a mall to shop, or going out to a packed restaurant to have lunch, or dinner, instead they’re ordering food online, and having it delivered from companies such as Uber Eats, DoorDash, or even ordering groceries online from Amazon Fresh, and other local vendors, who are providing customers with the option of ordering online, and having items that you ordered online delivered to your front door. It’s late at night, and you’re waiting for your food, and you check online to see where your order is, and the status has changed to delivered, but the problem is that you don’t have numbers on your house to identify it, nor do you have your address painted on the curb to identify where you live, so the driver leaves the food at your next door neighbors house because lights are on, but they happen to be out of town. How do you fix this problem? First you should have numbers on your house that are visible to the delivery driver, so that they can identify your house, and if it’s late at night, it’s important to leave on a porch light so that this will also aid them in being able to find your address, because houses look different at night than they do during the day, and for safety purposes, a driver walking up to a house looking for a house number could make them look suspicious, and their safety as well as yours should always be a top priority. The USPS which delivers to your neighborhood six days a week would probably be more comfortable making a delivery to your house at night, versus someone who just started delivering food one day ago for DoorDash. The days of seeing a delivery person in uniform have changed, more companies are contracting out drivers to deliver packages, and groceries, and food to your house, or apartment, condo, and etc., the personally owned vehicle unmarked has started to deliver to neighborhoods more often than normal, but when they do drivers normally wear a vest to identify what company that they’re working for such as Amazon contractors wear Amazon vest, and vice versa.
