      Also, no package left on the doorstep. They tend to grow legs and walk away around here...

        That's more of a problem in the larger city(ies) west of us. I live in a rural area on a county road and half of my neighbors are retired and home all the time anyway. Someone from Greenville would have to make a decent effort to come out here and package grab.

          Sounds like what we put up with here in good ol' Australia.

            I've had exactly the same experience with my local dealer. I refuse to go there.
