It has been 3 months since I moved to Syracuse.
I used to live in a dorm when I studied in Wisconsin before, but this time I’m living in an apartment.
I have various new experiences by living here.
One of them is “delivery”.
In Japan, if you are not at home when a deliveryman comes, he will leave an undeliverable item notice in the mailbox.
Once you request redelivery day and time by call or on the website, the deliveryman will come back almost the exact day & time.
In the U.S. …well at least Syracuse…though…
Depending on the delivery company and the size of package, a deliveryman just leave a package in front of my apartment door…..!!!
What if someone steals…!?
I sometimes find an undeliverable item notice on my door too.
If I sign on the back side, a deliveryman would leave the package in front of the door on the next business day (I cannot request a day & time).
Although the country size is totally different between the U.S. and Japan,
I realized that the delivery system in Japan is so good.
Also it takes more time for delivery in here.
Although I am an Amazon Prime member, I need to wait at least 2 days to get my ordered item.
In Tokyo, I can get it within the day if I order something.
Well, I gotta be more patient and wait for my package…!
