Came across this email from 2007 that I suddenly received one fateful afternoon 15 yrs ago.

3 Reasons why eCommerce deliveries are the safest way to get both food and non-food essentials to consumers:

It shows that while things won't be perfect, eCommerce and logistics companies do care a lot and are taking various precautions.
