Contactless delivery means dumping it upon the doorstep so that passersby can steal it.

Shopping online isn’t really my thing and only do it very occasionally.
On the website I was using today it stated that they operate “contactless delivery only”.
This includes not knocking the door or ringing the doorbell.
What’s that all about?
On a separate issue, just the other day, by text, I was informed that a delivery I was expecting would be made between 14:02 and 17:02hrs
Later, I happened to see the van outside went to the door to greet the driver who was walking towards the house with my parcel. He was very nice but said that as it was only 14:00hrs he could not complete the delivery until 2 minutes had passed. I thought he was joking but apparently not. We began having a chit chat on my doorstep This abruptly ended at 14:02 when he handed to me my parcel and dashed off!
I know the world’s gone mad but what’s going on.
