Because some deliverers don't put the parcel where you wanted to. Because some don't ring. Because some are rude. Many things can happen.

So you give a 5 star review when someone does their job? I always assumed such reviews should be reserved for those who go above and beyond. For your job it should be enough not to get complaints. At most a yearly or quarterly “satisfactory” should suffice. But now we’re offloading the responsibility of promoting everyone on customers. Every single service or product you buy requires a review and/or a tip.

It is not unreasonable for driver to get phone number. However this bullshit of leaving reviews on everything is... Why should I even need to review a delivery? Maybe we should be able to give 1 star to CEOs and boards of these companies asking for reviews. And maybe their compensation should be affected. Let's say not getting perfect 5 star rating would mean no extra compensation this year.

I personally hate how every company wants my feedback. Do people really waste their time leaving reviews for everything they do? I am getting dozens and dozens of emails begging for my opinion.

In my country, virtually every package sent by courier has the phone number of the recipient on the label. Is that not the case in the rest of the world?

I’ve been to 41 countries, and I’ve learned the USA’s precise address locations is more the exception than the rule. I expect the courier to have my number out of necessity. I’ve had packages shipped to several countries, and often the most precise address I can provide is “the blue door right of the cheese shop on $STREET”. Dubai is interesting in that it has fairly good addresses, but uses nearby landmarks instead…

You'll also find that both FedEx and UPS will put your phone number right on the shipping label.
