Not so special delivery

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – We’ve seen them flung, swung, and thrown onto porches, but now some Middle Tennessee residents have a new complaint about package deliveries. 

News 2 spoke to neighbors from Goodlettsville to West Nashville who said packages are being delivered outside of mailboxes and even left near the street, some out in the rain. 

“Come get me, I’m free,” Everett Head said of the not so special deliveries.

We don't have that problem here. Our FedEx and UPS packages are delivered to right to the front porch and out of sight from the road, and with the USPS it all depends on who's delivering. If it's Kim, she pulls up alongside the house and honks in case her nemesis, that asshole dog Jack, is wandering around. If I don't come out and Jack never shows up, she'll put it on the table on the back porch. If it's Jason, it'll go in the cab of my truck if it's unlocked and the weather is bad, or the back porch if there's no danger of it getting wet. 
I think we've had packages delivered to the wrong address three times. We just take them to the right people. I answered a knock on my door one time and there was a guy standing there holding a package for me saying it showed up at his house in Kentucky. Same road and house number, just different towns and states, 5 miles apart. I thought that was awful nice of him to make a special trip to deliver my package.
