Delivery companies are contracting with these people renting box trucks or delivering out of their SUV.

We had two Amazon packages that never showed up but showed as delivered at 9:52 last night. The wife and I were watching TV in the living room for a couple hours until 10:20 and can see the approach to our house.

There were no deliveries.

Anyone else having issues like this?

Count it as a blessing when it says delivered, but it wasn’t. That means you just got the shite you spent money on for free. Amazon is the shite.

I ordered some earbuds for Jr and they sat as pending for a week, I got nervous and cancelled my order.

They have grown too big too fast to keep up

I've had several issues with the Amazon drivers. Some as simple as delivered to the wrong address to outright shady seeming shite where it's marked "delivered to the mailroom" or "delivered to the front desk" when I live in a house. Never had those problems with UPS.

Ups has people using their personal cars too with “seasonal delivery helper” sticker on the back. Some old lady couldn’t get up my front steps and was honking the horn for me to come outside and get the package last night

True most of the time but not always, especially when it's time-sensitive. For example, last summer I ordered a sleeping bag and some camping supplies for my daughter, who was going to camp in two weeks. It was 'misdelivered' four times. I'm not even sure how that's possible. I spent over 30 minutes on the phone four times. They ended up refunding me and I eventually received a double order. That was awesome and all but my daughter had already left for camp.

Had an 11pm delivery Sunday nt. Dogs woke me up. It was a rapey van. I couldn't fall back asleep.


Today someone delivered my Altra shoes (ordered direct from Altra) in a sedan with one of these on top



Tomorrow I fully expect this gal to deliver my Norwegian fish oil order.

I ordered a computer desk for my son as an XMas present.

A full size computer desk - big package, right?

It was supposed to be delivered by the USPS on Saturday. It wasn't.

The funny thing is that they marked it delivered - in the customer's mail box! LOL!

The actual delivery took place Monday. They do the shady marking as delivered so that they meet their delivery timeliness threshold.

Your account should show a picture of where it was delivered. If it's not there open up a case.

I don’t know about shadiness but the delivery guy dropped a box off DURING the rain today, in the middle of my walkway while it continued to rain. By the time I got to it, the book inside was ruined.

Usually will get delivered the following day. Driver wants to get home so they mark packages delivered then finish the route the next day

I ordered some packing blankets for my equipment trailer for my business. Wanted to wrap some things up to keep them from getting banged around in transit


I got home about 11pm on Monday night and they had not arrived. I got up Tuesday morning around 6am and there was a box sitting I'm the middle of my front yard. It was them.

I have no idea what time they delivered them but it was probably in the middle of the night

I ordered a $15 air filter one time and they wouldn’t just leave it at the door.

Each time they said they couldn’t deliver and would try again the next day.

After a few times I said forget it. Got my refund and took my business to someone who would leave it at my doorstep.
