I had a drunken Amazon purchase the other day, a coffee/spice grinder. It arrived today. It was delivered in the personal car of the delivery person and was in a Walmart bag, saying they picked it up using curbside or the lockers at front of the store

Sounds to me like you could have bought it cheaper at Walmart.

I paid $1 more, and I’d pay $1 all day long to stay out of WM.

I just noticed it’s marked “Out for Delivery”, and will be delivered on the 8th.

Krups isn't bad, but there are better grinders out there for a little more money.

Did that Charger in your driveway make you feel just a tad bit uncomfortable?

No, but that would be awesome.

I’m guessing that’s the delivery guy’s name

You sure you didn’t drunkenly order something from Walmart?

Amazon does use independent drivers for some packages - that’s called Amazon Flex, but all of those items come directly from the Amazon facility in town. I have never seen anything drop shipped from Walmart that was ordered on Amazon.

This doesn't mean it's never happened.

You must have ordered it from Walmart. I received a product I bought from Walmart’s website on Black Friday in the same manner: delivered in a gray Walmart plastic bag by a guy in his car. I’m guessing they are having local stores fulfill and deliver some of the website orders.

It was nice of them to put yours in a plastic bag - they just threw my Black Friday switch games on the porch. No box, no bag - with the sticker from the delivery pick up stuck right to the case.
