Well done amazon, Not!!

Our last Amazon delivery driver snapped our letterbox trying to squeeze the parcel through. I caught him in the act and my dog barking made him crap his pants when I opened the door.

Unfortunately I didn't realise at the time it was broken so he got away with it but I never forget a face. Every time he comes to my house he will be greeted by my dog.

I managed to fix the letterbox back but every time a little bit of wind comes it chatters sending the dog off on one because she thinks someone is at the door.

why? amazon have already told the op there's no need to return it. if they come back at him at a later date he can just quote them and tell them he chucked it as it was goosed.

That's fraud.

Amazon insurance will just write it off internally, they account for this and basically send returned goods to landfill in the millions every year. There was an article that did some digging a while back highlighting just how much perfectly usable stuff Amazon bins purely because they're returned for whatever reason. It's easier for them to just say "keep it" - you do them a favour from having to get rid of what they consider waste.

In the time it's took me to write this reply Amazon have made millions, i think they'll survive.

I wanted to return an item because it didn't work for my use case (it was fully functional, though) and they just refunded me the money and told me to keep it.

They sent me the wrong biscuits once and told me to keep them too.

It's good that they did this because.... I ate the biscuits ¬_¬

I think from their point of view this makes sense because they're tired of having taped up biscuit packs which are just full of the packing material they were originally sent in returned to them.

With Amazon if you don't answer the door within 0.4 seconds you can guarantee they will put it on the floor and run off regardless of the weather.

If you have a problem always go on live chat and speak to an agent, everytime ive been told to keep the item and would i like a replacement or a refund.

Their job is pretty much horrible. They have hundreds of drops per day. I could think of a million other minimum wage jobs I would rather do.

I'm still amazed that in basically all of the orders I've placed, I've not once had the wrong thing show up.
