Rant about Amazon couriers

Lotus

I ordered 3 items from Amazon to be delivered tomorrow (Sunday). I got an email this morning (Saturday) to tell me they were being delivered today, and an update later to say they would arrive by 4.30. They didnt. At 17.19 I got an email to let me know they had been delivered, with a photo of them outside the main door of my apartment building - not a safe place - and they didn't even bother to buzz the door entry intercom to let me know where they were!

I've given feedback to say the delivery was not good, but I doubt they care. Unfortunately Amazon seem to have a monopoly and many items you can't get elsewhere now, so they don't have a lot of competition. Grrr!

  • I tend to. Use Amazon for items I won't find in stores or will be too expensive in store  but I do wish Argos would be one the giant it once was I miss the experience of getting the items in store and not online/in a small part of Sainsbury's 

    I'm. Currently in one of my anti consumerism moods tbh but it's because I value feelings more than stuff but not to the extent of I would give up all my stuff but I always find my self chasing the balance 

    I'm currently getting one more model beofre outing modeling building and painting on hiatus but a lot of that has come from amazon with mixed experience

    I used to love flicking through their brick of a catalogue. I'd rather queue as well.

    I miss catalogues, I find sometimes I don't know what to put in the search or it comes up with different things than you asked for.

    Yes I remember spending hours as a child cutting out pictures. It is problem solving too as you work out the best way to cut them out. Someone gave us a thick catalogue and it lasted for ages. Cutting out and making pictures is therapeutic. I also remember making mosaic pictures with bits from magazines.
