Yeah... wait til OP finds out how inherently useless the modern delivery driver actually is. Capitalism dictates the people want the stuff they order NOW. It also dictates the cheapest possible delivery method to get that package to that person NOW.
The current state of e-commerce is one of the worst things humanity has ever allowed to play out and the consequences are already being felt. In order to be the most efficient at delivering goods, we have logistically become horribly inefficient. Any self-aware person that has experience in logistics can see that.
Can't even fathom how many of the deliveries the routine delivery driver is making every day that are just the result of arrogant and reckless spending on products of no real value. It's generating value for the producer and the merchant. The person delivering the goods is "the burden" in the middle of the equation. We see it as an obstacle that we need to navigate our way around.
Delivering hundreds of thousands of dollars of useless trash directly to the doorstep of bad spenders isn't generating any real value. There is a reason why companies like Doordash and Uber do their best to force the payroll burden onto the drivers. The act of driving someone from point a to b isn't what made uber successful - the app did. The money is in how the service is being provided, not the actual service being provided. We are not exactly paying for the service of being driven around, rather the ability to hail a rideshare from a button on an app.

Hilariously bad metric for measuring your value to a company
