I've had nothing but problems with them:
* Package marked as delivered on Saturday. Package actually delivered on Sunday.
* Package not delivered because there was no safe place to leave it (there's a sign next to the front door with instructions do leave it in the complex's leasing office across the street).
* Package delivered to my door, despite my door being behind multiple card-access doors.
* Package left at the door to the leasing office, even though the leasing office was open and the lights were on.
These have all happened in the past three months. I'm borderline ready to cancel Prime.
- huac 10y agoEach of these will get you an extra month of Prime if you complain to Amazon.
- ascagnel_ 10y agoMuch like a cable company giving you a month of HBO when you complain, I fail to see how giving me more of an unreliable service will fix the broken elements of that service.
- untog 10y agoGreat, except what if I ordered something for a specific date because, you know, I needed it for that specific date? An extra month of Prime isn't going to help me there.
- nostrebored 10y agoThen enjoy the fact that literally no mailing provider actually guarantees delivery date. At least Amazon is more than willing to work with you to figure out how they can make your experience more palatable.

- nostrebored 10y ago"The guarantee does not apply when late delivery results ... from events beyond our control ... or the exercise of any lien in accordance with our Terms and Conditions of Carriage." If you can void your guarantee based on "forces outside your control" in something like shipping, where you're at the mercy of traffic, weather conditions, and human error, it's not really a guarantee. The UK is a substantially easier country to ship in logistically than the US. I don't doubt that Royal Mail's guaranteed delivery works.
