one of the reasons delivery services don't seam to care, i'd say, is that they outsource the actual delivery to poor migrants who don't have a choice but to price competitively against each other
Amazon's last mile shipping is outsourced, in a race to the bottom, to desperate migrants with a cheap white van who's road worthiness is debatable and who park illegally on sidewalks and bike paths during their deliveries. If you tell them that's not allowed they'll just say "Where else am I supposed to park? I won't make the delivery deadlines if I spend time looking for free parking spaces for the van. They're not reimbursing me for parking you know. What am I supposed to do?".
I hate Amazon. I also hate the governments who fail to regulate and crack down on these well known labor loopholes and abuses since this hasn't been going on since yesterday but for a very long time. I'd be totally ok with waiting 2-3x longer just to know th delivery workers have fair working conditions.
