Some people don’t have cars and are not on bus lines. Some people are not physically able to carry what may be large packages. Some people are housebound for medical reasons. These people and others may find this service helpful and none of them are necessarily “lazy” if they use this service.

I was curious about how Door Dash was going to handle liability for this program — in the event the Dasher failed to get the package to the carrier, or the carrier failed to scan it as received, etc. — so I read the fine print. There is a suggested cap of $100 value for anything returned through the program, and Door Dash will not accept liability for anything over that amount.

So proceed with caution.

This will just increase return abuse. Post Offices are everywhere within driving distances so there’s no excuse for buyers. The rightful policies of websites and sellers should always be: No Return = No Refund. Buyers should pay for these DoorDitch fees if they are too lazy to get to a PO.
