Grateful for Delivery Drivers

Delivery drivers are really stressed and overworked right now. And I am very grateful for anything brought to my door because I can’t go out. Even if there was no coronavirus, I can’t go out because my slow recovery from surgery is keeping me home. So I was trying to think of how I could thank them or better yet, tip them.

This is what I posted on my front door. If any of you know Spanish, please feel free to correct mine and I’ll redo the sign. I just used google translate, so who knows what my front door actually says!

The card I have taped to the sign is an Amazon gift card. I hope it’s clear to them what it is and that they can take it.

It’s a “print at home” gift card. I bought 10 of them for starters, and I’m going to put them out one at a time. So the only trick is noticing when one is gone so I can replace it before the next driver arrives with the next package.

With the print-at-home gift cards, you can designate whatever amount you want them to be worth. They are a file that you download, and each one has a unique code inside that can only be used once. I had to be careful to only print each one once. Then they just fold up into a card shape, with the unique code and instructions on the inside.

Here’s the link to buy them. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07P76HM3B/ref=s9_acss_bw_cg_gclptcg_2b1_w?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-4&pf_rd_r=NG3JX2XFACY84Z0C82D1&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=6b61ab65-7e92-43b7-b085-459660c9cd18&pf_rd_i=2238192011

Here’s what my order looked like:

Then I got an email with a link:

And this is what I got when I clicked on the link in the email:

Then I downloaded them one at a time, and printed and folded each one.

I just put the first one out today, so I don’t know if it will work or not. The delivery drivers are in such a rush, they may not notice. If no one takes it, I may have to make another sign that says, “You can have this gift card! Please take it! Yes, it’s for you!”
