We monitor the internet regularly for unauthorized Amazon apparel and demand that those items are removed when and where we can. People who make deliveries on behalf of Amazon do not routinely knock on doors nor ask customers to sign for packages unless already prearranged.” Johnson said, “I will tell you, we need to exercise caution at all times you don’t just open your door for anybody no matter who they are.”
