"Delivery" by Amazon

[FoxEye]

Holy crap.

Checked my email this morning to find my package is "delivered". Yet we've heard nothing and seen nobody.

Open the front door and literally they just left it on the welcome mat outside. It's been raining on and off and the package is electricals, inside only a cardboard box.

Not only that but our house is on a terraced estate and anybody walking past could just have helped themselves to the package.

Seriously, why are (some) delivery people so **** stupid? And in such a hurry that they couldn't have knocked? We were up and about and could have received/signed for the parcel.

A couple hours later, and if I hadn't checked my emails, the damn thing would have been ruined.

The delivery company on the tracking info is "Amazon". Not DPD, Hermes or whatever. Just Amazon. I hope they're not always this bad!

At least they delivery.

It's how they operate at the moment.

I had a parcel come last week and my account said it had been left in reception, even though it was coming to my home address. Turns out it had been left outside and had been put under the gas/electric box.

So nothing happened? First world problems.

Looks like it. All of our stuff is left on the front doormat if it’s a box. Normally they’re jumping back in their car/van by the time I answer the door!

Ain't nobody got time to wait and see if the door opens, they're probably "self employed" getting paid 10pence per parcel or something

 

[drakulton]

At least they delivery.

I saw what you did there.

And in such a hurry that they couldn't have knocked?

Pretty much. They are basically slaves.

 

[chroniclard]

Had loads like this, they generally just knock, drop and run. Its easy to miss.

They are not always that bad mostly my delivery's are hidden from site but sometimes they stuff the card in the side of the doorframe between the door and the frame where anybody can see it the worst delivery i had was a beer52 box left on the doorstep all-day i was surprised it was still therewhen i got home

 

[RandomMonkeH]

Its how all delivery companies are operating at the moment, even for signed for items.
You just need to be aware and keep an eye open.

Welcome to the new normal.

I had an amazon delivery this morning. I wasn't in as the tracking stated tomorrow however the driver called me to ask about a safe place. I gave him the gate lock code and he popped it in the storage bin I have for deliveries when I'm out.

unless you have cctv/Ring monitoring, maybe they knocked on door, mine do, which is more covid friendly than pressing bell, too ?

 

[Zefan]

I wonder what would happen if everyone submitted a complaint of non delivery?

 

[darael]

I recently expected a parcel from Amazon which didn't turn up. After checking the tracking, I found out that I had apparently refused delivery at 10pm and that the parcel was back in the the Amazon facility 10 minutes later - which is about 90 miles from me.

Amazon would likely ban you from purchasing from them if they suspect fraudulent behaviour.

 

[montymint]

I've had boxes left in the front yard (I'm a mid terraced house) that's been nicked. Amazon thankfully did provide a replacement

 

[Efour]

You got it, undamaged. So where's the problem?

Lots of could haves but
