Why am I so annoyed with Amazon delivery?
Super annoyed. So i really hate the new way amazon delivers by having random people deliver packages. Cool because it gives a kind of job but sucks when that person doesnt even try. So the end of our road is out from the culvert caving in but there is a HUGE detour sign at the bottom of the road. Freaking person with a huge amazon order dropped it off at the end of our road which is a 4 mile drive for us to get to and porch pirates swooped in and took our packages. They didnt even try bringing it to our house which they are supposed to do.... 😡 definitely reaching out to amazon on this one. So annoyed. Had my dog and cat food, my laundry soap, and more.

That would be so annoying. We have actual amazon drivers that deliver our stuff. Prime truck and all!

They used to deliver by UPS so idk when it changed

@countrypeaches42013, ours changed earlier this year. We had a HUGE snow and ALLLLLLL our mail service was interrupted for weeks. We were in national news for it 🙄🙄🙄. Anyways they started delivering with their own trucks up here that come from Seattle now.

Chat with Amazon customer service and demand they replace it or refund it to a gift card so you can repurchase. They left it 4 miles away from your house. Unacceptable.

We have an Amazon van that delivers ours still. This is awful. Definitely call customer service. They will probably reimburse you.

Definitely call customer service but I would give the drivers the benefit of the doubt. They're under a lot of pressure and I'm sure they're being tracked so even though there is a detour sign they might not be "allowed" to take that detour.

I have stuff delivered regularly to our house. It wasn't an amazon driver just some random person like an uber eats sort of deal

@countrypeaches42013, Amazon has flex drivers that use their own vehicle. They still use the same application that amazon prime or warehouse drivers use. I only know this because I’m a flex driver. We can not deliver or mark the package as delivered unless we are in the highlighted area. I don’t know what happened in your situation, I’m sorry that happened to you. Customer service should definitely refund or resend your order.

@dontblockmesis-imjustspeakingfacts yeah it was wild. It was dropped off 4 miles away and they took a picture and said they left it on our porch..... it was on the bottom of a road. So idk what went wrong in this case. 🤷♀️

We have had an unmarked car deliver and it was sketch! 2 guys parked outside my house and they were looking lost. They kept opening the trunk, searching the back seat, moving packages around....I finally called my husband cause I was like idk what they are doing! Once they delivered the package it smelled strongly of weed, I had to air out that kid's Christmas present! It was a Bob Ross present too! Lol I guess they were looking for the package and too high and lost where the set it. 🤣🤣

it is only fitting that the bob ross present smelled like weed though lol

I drive for Amazon Flex. That’s the service where private drivers use their personal vehicles to deliver packages. So let me complain about how hard customers make it on the drivers, especially the rural customers.
WE NEED DETAILED DIRECTIONS BECAUSE THE GPS SUCKS! We don’t know that there’s detours going on. We don’t know about all the long driveways because GPS often fails us in rural situations. We see a gate but can’t open it unless we are told “okay to open the gate”. Very often when I do rural areas I have to call driver support for GPS overrides because it’s just that far off. I also find myself calling the customer and they’re either extra rude because you don’t know where to go or extra grateful because we are really trying to get it to the right place. Things like that take up my time and ability to get my route done on time.
One time I got lost, the GPS told me to take a private road to the house and it was wrong. The owner met my ass with a shotgun threatening me using racial words and yelling FUCK AMAZON! I didn’t have my gun so I was scared shitless.
So please, give very detailed directions on your order so it can be properly delivered. If your house is 4 miles from the driveway on the left hand side with a red van and a trailer we need to know that. If there’s a detour, GPS won’t tell us, put that in there too. Then us flex drivers can do our job and get it to the right place.
Can’t speak for the potheads smokin and driving, I leave that for the end of my day so that’s just dumb choices on their part.

Because our road is washed out at the bottom we wanted to put very detailed directions on what roads to take to get to the house itself. It's only 2 right turns but we knew it would be inconvenient for mail and other delivery drivers so we tried to make it as simple as possible. We wrote on the thing that the bottom of the road is washed out so to get to the house continue down the road you're going, turn right at this road which has the other detour sign, and follow that until you get to my road and turn right.
We are not horrible people and we tried making instructions and everything as simple as possible and on our porch we have bags of chips, cookies, Gatorade, soda, water, all that for our delivery people.
I wouldn't be so upset if it was just a cheap little thing I could easily replace but it was over $100 worth of stuff they left 4 miles from my house which has clearly laid out directions and left it propped next to a detour sign where there is no houses or anything so people driving by it see free packages. So I am completely allowed to be annoyed at this 1 driver. I havent had an issue with them before other than them leaving my package in the middle of my driveway instead of in my open garage 😂 but I'll forgive that one. So I am entitled to being a bit upset about the situation. I'm sorry a ton of people suck and are rude but they chose to take on this job and chose to not do what the directions ask. So no, me as the customer is not the one at fault here.
