Rant about Amazon couriers

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.

  • My local Argos had seats and I found sitting or standing in Argos at Xmas time oddly relaxing mu local Argos is a gym now and my other local is. Just empty I think I have fond memories of both I miss all the old stores Woolworths, bhs, blockbuster, gamestation, wilkos, 99p store and now i found out my local pound bakery is closing 

  • Wilco were great on garden plants and bulbs and cheap mixed boxes of seeds, as well as cheap kitchen gadgets. I miss Woolies for pick and mix. 

  • I miss Woollies, Wilko & C&A.

    I do like Argos as their drivers are great, always polite, follow delivery instructions and bring the goods up to my apartment. But unfortunately some of their stuff isn't very good quality. I ordered a new kitchen bin from Argos but it has a scratch on the lid and there is a big sticker on it that's one of those that you can't peel off, you have to scrape it off bit by bit and I really cannot be bothered, so I'm returning it.

    Wilko do have a website where you can order for home delivery so I'm thinking of ordering a bin from there. From past experience their delivery drivers are not as good as Argos, so I hope it works out ok. It was better when you could go in the shop and look at & choose things yourself.
