I did a PC build, which was an unexpected upgrade. I had dual monitors setting, one is 1440P (27″) while the other is 1080P(22.5″).

I had received calls from Amazon drivers asking if I would like my packages delivered for months, and today I finally fixed this issue
For months, I had received calls from Amazon drivers asking me if I would like my packages. “Of course”, I would always tell them. But still, I was wondering why this happened so frequently.
