Amazon Prime sucks massive donkey balls

I saw someone else say they got loo roll the other day too. Free is free, and I got a dual tray Tefal air fryer last week - and for a change Amazon Uselessgistics actually delivered before it got dark :).
Nice result! Are you on the Gold tier? I had a Cuktech 20,000mAh (supposedly) USB powerbank arrive today, never heard of the brand but it seems quite well made.
 
You're missing the point. It doesn't have a name. It has a number. He is just refusing to display it lol.
I'm not refusing anything. It has never had the number displayed since I moved in yet funnily enough every other delivery service has managed to go to the right house every time. It's not like I'm in some backwater place that's difficult to find either. If the driver actually opened his eyes it would be bloody obvious where the correct delivery address was. I'm not sure why you're finding this so difficult but I'm hope you don't work as a courier.

Yeah, they should totally be able to guess door numbers.
Yes they should when it's right between the other two houses that have house numbers clearly displayed.

The one thing I’ll never do again is live in a rear parking, path only to front door house . It totally bamboozles Amazon drivers.

Last week they just left a box at the rear garden gate and today they couldn’t even manage that. They drove past, then nothing and hour later I get an update saying parcel is back at depot and they tried earlier. They used to call but now not even that.

Ultimately, if they opened Google maps, typed in the street name, they’d find it highlighted about 20 meters away from them but they just don’t have time because they’re over worked.

It’s one of the reasons I get most of my stuff delivered to a drop off near work, because they can’t fail at that (but still do but far less). Alas, expensive items they won’t.
 
Amazon prime deliveries used to always knock and wait years ago, they never do now, they just leave the parcel behind the bin, the first I learn of it is I get an email saying it's been delivered. That's when they get the right property, had something "delivered" the other day, it wasn't delivered to my home though, second time in about 5 months. Just not the same prime delivery.
 
I had a massive £850 TV that arrived broken, I had to complain twice, and each time they gave me 10% back, on top of the full refund, turned out alright
still, it was good fate, because I ended up with a better tv in the end

I had one wait a couple of minutes for me, I guess as always its a postcode lottery, I have rubbish DPD but good amazon logistics.
 
I do miss my only human contact being the Amazon Prime man :rolleyes:
It's not about wanting human contact, it's about them actually finding out if the parcel they are delivering is going to the right address, because if they bother to wait for the home occupier to answer, I know with me I always quickly glance at the name & address on the parcel and tell them if they're at the wrong address, I assume most other people do too, meaning I would have less parcels going awol.

Decent Amazon man, Yodel is the one that fails massively here.

Anyone noticed a lot more two man delivery teams now? One driver and the other dropping off? I assume it's to increase the amount they can deliver - but I still chuckle as the van drives off as the person is handing you your parcel
 
One wonders how Amazon’s business model would suffer if it stopped all this gig economy, pay peasants nonsense. It works because it’s quick and convenient but when it stops being that you just start to question the entire reason you’re paying the extra money for what is essentially a one off a fee for unlimited deliveries.
 
So not worth starting a new thread - so I'll drop this in here (kind relevant, maybe). I bought a Philips Sonicare toothbrush 2.5 years ago, so 6 months outside warranty @ £200. It no longer works, Philips say not their problem contact Amazon, who not their problem contact Philips. Is this worth the time/effort in pursuing through the CRA 2015 - which in my limited understanding suggests the act applies (less than 6 years old) - I've mentioned this and again neither care sating "not our problem, no warranty".

I still have 9 brush heads left which is annoying me as well.

Thanks.

It's out of warranty so it's not the sellers problem or Philips problem... unfortunately...its the buyers problem now.

It's a little grey area, because the more expensive an item is, the more firm ground you have to stand on. Like if it's a £50 set of headphones vs £5000 piece of HiFi. Then there is the cost and effort of going through the legal route or the threat of legal action to Amazon to get this resolved.

I am not saying you can't get a replacement, but it will cost you time and effort, even if you could.
