Our whole block had delivery confirmations and no packages. Next day, the package showed up. Amazon Logistics is terrible. Last week I had an LCD monitor thrown over our 6' fence behind our house.

Was the box marked fragile from the outside?
Would it matter? It was the amazon warehouses' responsibility to mark the package fragile to avoid reckless behavior by amazon delivery. Both are Amazon's duty when they're both the seller and the shipper.
Totally agree with you. I was just wondering, as I have never seen an Amazon box actually have the "fragile" warning label on it, and didn't know if they even did that.

You would assume the weight of the customers monitor would tell any reasonable delivery driver not to drop the package 6 feet, regardless of what the box says.

Even for items that explicitly _aren't_ fragile, I wouldn't exactly be thrilled by that handling (it's just asking for, e.g., the box to partially come open and something go missing).

On the subject of delivery notifications, I had a parcel "delivered to a receptionist" last week, despite it being a residential house (because my sister opened the door).
