With regards to where a package is delivered, I don't know how UPS, FedEx, or Amazon's scanners work, but at least FedEx and USPS are similar devices and they track scanning points with GPS, and I'm not talking general area. USPS is tracked down to within feet of where the package is scanned and if you try to scan"delivered at front door" and you're at the mail box it will trigger a warning and tell you how many feet away you are from the selected drop off point.
That is what the OP is going in about, and I can pretty much guarantee you that who ever delivers the package isn't going to get into any trouble over that discrepancy, at most they'll be reminded to scan packages properly. Unless Blaine can figure out a way to get Amazon to require special delivery instructions and pay extra for that extra handling his complaint will fall on deaf ears.
That being said if you can develope a working relationship with the carrier, or the actual delivery driver, you can usually get things delivered how you want them... But being an asshole typically doesn't work regardless of how many packages you receive or ship.
FedEx proved that when they told Amazon to fuck off and stopped delivering for them.
