  > Note that even if you don’t buy anything from Alexa it gives you notifications if your packages are at the door . How do I enable that?! I've had four Echos since they were first released and I've never had them notify me of an Amazon package delivery.

    They added it a while back but I think it was default disabled. If you go to settings in the Alexa app->notifications->shopping notifications, the toggle is in there.

  I've bought a few things as well, it was always a repeat item. Alexa, order more deoderant. She was able to figure out that I wanted the same deoderant that I've ordered the past 10 times.

  I have not used Alexa, but in the past I have used Subscribe & Save to auto-order consumables. I found that even ordering consumables was a pain as products were constantly being discontinued in favor of a "new and improved" version (e.g. new packaging), or running out of stock, or the price would change drastically, etc. At the end of the day I probably spent more time worrying about and managing my subscriptions than if I just opened up my laptop or phone and placed a brand new order. As a price-conscious consumer I feel like I would have the same experience with Alexa. At least with Subscribe & Save the 15% discount made it almost worthwhile.
