Their delivery service is frustrating. It seems to be the norm, and accepted, that drivers will mark packages delivered a full 24 hours ahead of time and do the delivery the next day, presumably to meet delivery requirements.
I've also had these individuals basically solicit me for a tip, recounting how they're underpaid, etc.
I really don't like this move to try to uber-ify package delivery. UPS/FedEx have their bad moments, but at least I don't have to worry that the employees are under too much duress to deliver, or are on the edge of unreasonably compensated.
- twblalock 9y agoOne Amazon delivery guy knocked on my door so aggressively around 7am that I thought he was trying to break in.
- gumby 9y agoI had one earlier this week call my phone repeatedly before 6 AM (breaking through the "do not disturb) to complain he couldn't find one of my packages in his car.
- NickGerleman 9y agoI've been in Seattle for around a month and can completely agree with this. One time half of an order went to a wrong apartment, and the other half came the next day. UPS and related have access codes to get into the building where Amazon doesn't. Having free same day delivery is a life-changer, but Amazon needs to improve a lot.
- hyperbovine 9y agoAh so that's why that has been happening lately. Makes sense.
- BlytheSchuma 9y agoI've never had anything like that happen to me. But UPS and Fedex have done much worse by me in the past. This is a welcomed addition the the delivery market in my book.
- protopeer 9y agojust curious: how do they ask for a tip? i honestly can't imagine any scenario where it's reasonable for a delivery personnel to ask for a tip, so i imagine it must be super awkward to even bring it up.
