When you want to cancel and Amazon order, do you expect them to chase down the mail truck to the retrieve the package?

Not solving nonproblems is how reasonable people operate.

In this scenario, I never willingly placed the order in the first place.

If Amazon started sending me a ton of useless random packages every week, you bet that I'd expect them to have a team of ninjas chase the driver down and forcibly remove my package.

Spam and marketing mail should be - needs to be - opt-in and illegal.

I would love to have an ACL on my physical mailbox, where all senders I have not explicitly authorized get mail returned to sender at their own cost.
